Deer hoof tracks in mud
They lead me to nowhere and
Everywhere all at once
Through the fields of grass
That sway like a dancer
Whose song is the drought and the flood
Course through skin like blood
Rip round the highways and
Dip through the valleys of moon
Gibbous not quite full
Out in the daytime to witness the season
All clad in springs embrace
Dotted in flowers and
Drenched in the greenest of green
Sun lights on my face
Thousands of shadows all
Tangled like brambles
It's clear my great escape
Is here in the country
Where I should be buried
The pale blue azure sky
Is deep as an ocean
Reflecting my thoughts back through time
As the clouds play games
The birds are singing their
Cherry wine sweet symphonies
Mindless of all prayers
They rejoice in the bounty and
Dip their wings into the streams
Silver white and clean
Washed over boulders of
Various colors and size
Hey there's three in line
I cross the stone bridge and
Into the cracks of my mind
