of        winding roads

of        rivers in full flow
of        mountains peaked
of        futures, ripe(ning) with possibility
of        burning leaves
of        candy apples
of        that first, taste
of        that first, warm glow
of        that smile
of        that lingering goodbye
of        those letters
of        the end

of        tears
of        dark long nights
of        bandages and sticky tape(d) care

of        hope
of        that smile (again)
of        another day (in the sun)

of        all things bright and beautiful
of        not forgotten toys
of        (those still remembered) windswept moors
of        oceans deep
of        stars that never go dark

of        paths not yet travelled

of        (all) these things

                     is made

                                magic

Wave that wand, Tinkerbell.

down here on magic street
love’s a fool’s dance
i ain’t got much sense but I still got my feet

– lyrics from, girls in their summer clothes, bruce springsteen

really a road runner that much is clear
who whatever the weather knew no fear
…when in need of relief
…was quite the thief
unwrapping and perspiring ‘e licks ‘ere

reminding me (and you)
that this view is my

the world
and reminding
me (and you)
that

a

smile

costs

nothing

hopeless time to roam
the distance to your home
fades away to nowhere

lyrics from new born, muse

like a (solitary) tree
on a distant
hilltop

like a (solitary) tree
with branches reaching
high

like a (solitary) tree
with roots dug
down
deep

like a (solitary) tree
i keep
my

distance
