It’s ludicrous
How many lives we lead
Gratuitous
How many times we bleed
Like Junipers
Our leaves are evergreen
The best of us was kept from us
To hide while we go seek
Assuring our remembrance
For around this time next week
(For around this time next week)
(For around this time next week)
.
Thank goodness then the future ain’t so bleak
At least it needn’t be
Once we learn to suture veins of leaves beneath red cedar trees
Bled of reasons seasons need dictate the way we’re feeling
Under oath to favour growth where nature knows no ceiling
Some freewheel
Beg
Borrow
Steal
Each token of goodwill from us
Others huddle close
And are more open to reveal to us
.
To the former
We’re fools
To the latter
We matter
Valid in batting her up to play catcher
No need to know quite so lowly a stature
With oceans devoted to healing us
.
It’s beauteous
How many of us breathe
The studious
The strayed
The brave
The meek
The universe is grooming us
To seek the secret room in us
Assuring ceaseless jubilance
Where futures ain’t so bleak
.

How many of us breathe
The studious
The strayed
The brave
The meek
The universe is grooming us
To seek the secret room in us
Assuring ceaseless jubilance
Where futures ain’t so bleak
In our keep
An ancient key
For eyes too wide for vacancy
Too graceful for complacency
E’er faithful to the waking dream
.

Painting the most tasteful scene
Like Junipers
Forever seen
Where nature knows no ceiling
Feeling
Healing
Famed
And evergreen
.
Healing
Famed
And evergreen (repeat)
