whittling out a life
from a branch of incident
that sprouted up one day
now it's all I know
such little time to watch it grow
little bird of youth
I watched you fly away
each time you return
I with for longer you'd stay
maybe you'd nest again one day
I'd trade the wisdom that comes with age
for the blindness of an innocent mind
bend or break
when the trouble piles on
gotta find me a way
to keep from wearing out
it's difficult to find
the beauty in your life
when a thought bent in your head
throws a shadow on light
hiding the spark that gives you light
if I could retrace my steps
find out where I went astray
unload the garbage in my mind picked up along the way
maybe it would set me free one day
