She took her last breath
As a white throat traveled northbound
It’s an ancient dance
Of death and life in a strange romance
A body below
Grows again as a dandelion
With the pull of the tide
The moon is full and then it hides
Round and around
Out from a crack stretches a beak
Falls from the nest
Brushes the flesh of a blossoming peach
It’s an ancient dance
Of death and life in a strange romance
But I’m still asleep
‘til I wake to the early morning
When the sandhill crane
Spreads its’ call across the land
As they gently fly
So steady their body and wing
As the colors change
Over the distant trees
As the rising sun
Pulls
And pulls across the land
There are two kinds of time
Maybe more beyond my mind
But the two that I see
I find myself caught between
There one that divides
Like the rusty old barbed wire fence
Pricks my palm
Like the tick tock of the second hand
A cut can be deep
20 years pass in the blink of an eye
I was just a child
With a shadow overtaking me
A simple glance
Look at the time think I am bound
But I’m still asleep
‘til I wake to the early morning
When the sandhill crane
Spreads its’ call across the land
As they gently fly
So steady their body and wing
As the colors change
Over the distant trees
As the rising sun
Pulls
And pulls across the land
