he looked into her eyes and saw an ocean opened wide she peered into his gaze and saw the sky when the moon stays away

with my long strides, and my skinny legs i will march this globe like a trumpeter, leading processions of love-lost people, and forlorn dreamers, i will sail to the edge of the world to share this gospel,
3.
these dreams 06:43
i’m in a new skin like a lizard or a snake bends/ the river ran wild in my life back then/ let my heart free-range/ now it’s time to rope it in/ they were just sand before they were mountains
4.
sometimes curled quietly in a corner waiting for the sun to shine upon her she hums, like a river, like the first snowfall, she is a storm of violent proportions

10.
But I never wanted to be a Lost Boy I was more fascinated with a gathering of Old Men Instead of pixie dust, sawdust Old piccolo joints after midnight Where the shots were hard And life rang loud
