Springtime #2

From the same place that brings me joy
I'm picking poppies from the sky
Lawnmowers, bees and daffodils
Sunbursts and moonbeams
Dazzling dandelions

Pop, pop popping through canvas black
Through stars and back
Flowers and stars and through
There is day on the other side
Bright, brighter, brightest light
Aaah

Have you ever seen helicopters spinning
Whirling, velociraptors for Trevan
The boy with a voice-sweet whistle of a swallow
songbird's sigh

Bracelet and [bad word] band, one man band
I made my own guitar
Sounds from under the chair
She's over there, silly singer you get out here
Make music with the rest of the class
Aaah

Today my features speak for me
No tones, no words, not a peep
Just a smile and bright eyes
So lovely to make a sound
Hear them growing from the ground

Unbelievable to open my mouth
Feel a [bad word] out
Aaah

I jump right in, take a swim, I wash my skin
I'm glowing from within
Joy, honor, daughter of a heavenly father
Aah

Today my features speak for me
No tones, no words, not a peep
I want to hug you and kiss you on the cheek
So much love flowing out of me
Aaah
