Gold Mine

It was one time sure enough The owl had lept for its lunch Saccharin charms and chokecherry Star 67 calls at the bluff The garden never looked so green And weevils came through brandishing snouts The chess board was missing a piece Water in the hydrant had all run out All these things we came to be All the times we could do without I'm a part of you, you're a part of me All the groans and gripes the fight against the frown These knives couldn't make us bleed Footsteps dried on wet cement The heart of the root is the seed Nest is a place for common ground Gold mine Gold mine in my rest Uncertainty Even I wont get the best of me In Bread and Wine Hold up in my perch The heart of things Close eyes and feel this mirth Sanctity
