Constellations

I crave the mornings 

Where you wake up and it’s storming 

That sky she has her way of showing off

There’s men who think they’re kings

And kings who think they’re gods

But I think there’s nothing wrong with feeling small 

So if you should be

Needing me

I’ll be out in my backyard looking up

Just drawing constellations

Won’t even need to name them

No, no one thought to give me that job

I’ve since quit grieving 

For the passing of the seasons

October keeps her hand held tight in mine

Their love is so confusing

Seems you’re either used or using 

Or losing out ‘cause someone crossed the line

So help me feel 

Everything

And let us say we had one undisguised encounter

It’s been found that

Hope abounds 

When you’re trusting that tomorrow will be kinder

Been digging up the soil

From the garden in my soul

Dug a hole for planting flowers made to bloom

So plant some of your wisdom

And plant some of your joy

And I’ll be better off for getting to know you 

Yes, I’ll be better off for getting to know you
