Live

Daydreams are wonderful
But reality is sweet
Romantic cobble stones
Better under feet

Elbows on the sill
World at the wait
Sitting there so still
Feel the weight of fate

Been in a fight
Danced all night
Apologized for wrongs
Singing made up songs
Coffee on my shirt
Feelings I have hurt
Smiles I've created
Words anticipated
Having told some truth
Mistakenly in youth
Wore out my shoes
Drunkenly in blues
Lost in new places
Meeting new faces
Too hot or just right
Every stolen bite
Oh the lovely hands
different color sands
Battles worth the loss
Learning from each boss
Each dawn, flower or fawn
Rain shower or yawn
Glad to be awake
None of it was fake

Out there in the brush
You hear the wind and calls
The sun, ice and stone
The beauty of the falls

Venture from your zone
To taste blood on your tongue
Enjoy this love of life
With which I have been stung
