children rise up out of the earth
for you
arms scraping the sky
grieving for you
is this not enough to take away
your emptiness?
daisies cling to the last
fading rays of warmth
but we're not daisies
anymore
our petals wilt in the sun

the nature is in us
always
lasting
water speaks
and we hear
you change like the leaves
bursting into flame

i can compensate
for your failed autumn breezes
i can
and i will
i'm not a baby anymore john
hey i said
i'm not a baby anymore
listen when i talk to you
some of the trees are already bare
and some still bear fruit
they whisper me their secrets
'cause i listen close

the crow is too high now
i can hear him
long lamenting
but it blinds me to look
but the water still speaks
it's in all of us
youmeweus
dust and
dirt and
leaves and
stone
but you're the queen of the sky
i said
you're the queen of the sky
