lyrics

This old face
Has seen a few
days of blazing red joy
and days of blue
Every line
etched in deep
by sand that slipped through, not mine to keep

We are tidy
Daffodils
in the careful gardens we all till
But when Clover muscles through
The soft green tangle
makes the garden new

Life is a chaos-colored tapestry
Upside down, inside out
Impermanent, imperfect
A wild untidy thing
And I’ll take my life, iron the wrinkles back in

Fear of falling keeps you small
Not steady, just still
Shrinking from risk, what did I miss
Have I really lived at all?

There are times
I will regret
Places unseen, friends not met
Next time around
I hope I fly
I hope I live deep, and wide, and high

and weave a chaos-colored tapestry
Upside down, inside out
Impermanent, imperfect
A wild untidy thing
I’ll live my life, and leave the wrinkles in
