Stay

grass up to my knees

feels good beneath my feet

in the shade under the trees is where you'll find me

for the moment i am done

the world outside the wall is gone

and we only need enough to keep on breathing

i remember as i see

the day's a constant memory

it recurs as if a dream feels it should be

and i say

stay, stay

let me stay

my heart says what i can't obey

i'm obligated to another day

but please let this one stay

our lives are hard to see

through the instant poetry

but in a thin space in between, our thoughts form clearly

and with the warmth from a paper sun

the world outside the wall burns on

never stop, must always run to make them happy

but the wind that turns the leaves

has been my healing remedy

it feels right as if a dream feels it should be
