If You Ask Me

 

I can’t believe you just danced on a mountain

Fashioned a sail from a butterfly’s wing

Sipped on a cup filled with smiles from the fountain

Stood in the garden before it was spring

 

Climbed up a staircase that led to tomorrow

Painted the sun in a deep shade of blue

Gave back the blessings you thought you could borrow

Sent to the old every wish of the new

 

Carved out a poem in tree bark illusion

Swung from a bridge as the river ran dry

Started the end with a forgone conclusion

Welcomed a friend with a hearty good bye

 

When was the last time you acted this funny

Thinking the stars would all fall from above

Even in rain all your eyes see is sunny

If you ask me I would say you’re in love

Author's Note

Just for fun....

Another amazingly wonderful piece. This one is rather different from you; it's like verses in a lyric -- all you need is a chorus and the bridge!

Really terrific line: "Carved out a poem in tree bark illusion"

[jacob erin-cilberto]

light and airy poem, just like we feel when that idea of love hits us over the head, and we go head over heels.

And a few other things. Thanks so much Jacob.
