heaven after

I’m not really yours

when did that change, I’m not sure

these acres, a wide open space

say go on, take the place of anybody now

but dear rose, dear daffodil

I only bloom this very shape

and it rains, my love

for roots to grow deeper

with skin as my keeper

heaven weeps, oh my love

for every flower

for every honest kiss

it rains, my love

and roots, they grow deeper

with skin as my keeper

heaven weeps, oh my love

sure in time we’ll see the flowers with a steady hand

we will be golden every hour, it’s a pretty plan
