Forgive Me

Plant me a tree

out of history and space.

Lend me smile

when I run out of pace.

Burn down the wick

when the brick takes my place,

I wanna go back to the dirt.

Write me a letter

when there aren’t any notes.

Paint me a bridge

when there aren’t any boats.

Pull out a chair

when the tables bare nodes,

take me back to the heart.

It’s all depleted

but it’s loved and it’s seeded.

We’re all depleted

but we love and we’re needed.

Tell me a tale

when the novels are gone.

Show me a river

when the water won’t run.

Sing me a song,

I’ll sing along till it’s done.

I wanna go back to the start
