through the eye of a needle
gaze through the eye of a needle
and write prayers upon your skin
watch the moon fall
as you discard the caterpillars twin
the elephant in the room
she remembers it all
stop walking under ladders
lest you risk another the fall
smell the scent of the ocean
as their ship passes in the night
then reap what you sow
by turning on the light
breath in deeply
the scent of morning dew
a single blade of grass dances
with every moment anew
gaze through the eye of a needle
and write prayers upon your skin
watch the moon fall
as you discard the caterpillars twin
the elephant in the room
she remembers it all
stop walking under ladders
lest you risk another the fall
smell the scent of the ocean
as their ship passes in the night
then reap what you sow
by turning on the light
breath in deeply
the scent of morning dew
a single blade of grass dances
with every moment anew
