Before I Go

Rock back and forth

The creaks 

Of the wooden chair.

A pair of blue eyes

Stair and escape

Into a memory.

Fall just reached 

Its blossom of colors

Daisy dance with the wind.

"Mommy push me higher."

She cries

The swing pulls back

pause...

"Let go mommy."

She flys into the sky

Her feet can touch the clouds.

She fasts forwards

 To under the willow

Where the swallow sings.

Wraps herelf in his arms.

Her lips begin to rest

On his like a pillow.

The kiss bellows beneath her heart.

Makes it stop to skip one beat.
On the hill
The sun kisses the grains
Of the prairie below.
Endless mountains surround her
Melts her eyes in awe.
The place
She could be
Who she wanted to be.
Like a vortex
Sucks back to the chair.
Sudden pools fill her eyes.
drips like a faucet.
Knowing what she is going
To leave behind.
Before she joins the sky
Were the Mellow Larks cry.
High above the clouds
Where peace meets the earth.
