You came so small in a world of wonder White eyed and shy, sky full of thunder You grew so tall without much warning Smiling and bright like a perfect morning If I could, I would keep you so close but the future is your playground and tomorrow needs you most Curious and kind, such colors in your mind Root down and shine My Wildflower Now you're coming of the ages I've known you're here to do your part They are burning the sages Keep the medicine in your heart You shall not tarry In a time that came before but may you feel the strength beneath you and ancestors on your shore If I could I'd part the sky for you and tend to every need but I am the old tree my dear and you the blessed sea I am just the archer, who points the arrow high I've aimed the best I could, now it's your time to fly May this Earth protect and hold you and may you always find your path Wildflowers

I will follow you Into destinations unknown I will follow you If you'll have me by your side There are so many unbeaten paths to follow I would like to be by your side Oh so many mountains to travel Over ridges valleys Untold We will find streams that trickle oh so gently and oh so fiercely Down to the shores There if you'll have me still We will sink our toes in the sand Let the water take us Let the water take us The waves will crash over us Let them crash around us Let them crash around us Let me spin with you I want to whirl, whirl, whirl, whirl with you I want to dive, dive, dive with you I want to follow you After the salt water has dried I will ask you for your hand Follow me, follow me, follow me into the forest There are ferns whispering your name The soil taking for your footprints Trees calling all climbers all lovers Oh lovers, Oh lovers Now won't you sit by my fire There are birds higher We can whirl, we can spin, we can dive again Oh so many wonders to discover with you my dear Oh so many secrets to uncover my dear I will follow you You will follow me I will give a little You will give a little We will come together in these places beyond spaces that we have known before follow you I would like to follow into this green, yellow, red, black, white world of color Oh I will follow you Under water over land I will follow you

The thing about time is that it's actually timeless and our spirits they are transcendent Love infinite, unquantifiable But our forms, they are earth made Wise and robust in their architecture Chrysalis, crystalline ultimately fragile and temporary white bones break bodies bleed and every great heart will cease to beat Wild and intricate art we are fed by the elements animated by light oceanic and animal of salt, water and dust a temporary temple contained in a Chrysalis, this There is a joy here that is tireless though we only have two hands to hold it and one chance to learn its ways between life and death we will fail a thousand times but we will know magic undoubtedly There is a universal first breath that makes angels sing It is high and it is holy Just like the last breath but the last breath comes too early and the circumstances don't always make sense and life wasn't done living and we didn't get to say goodbye and someone didn't get to play their song We're often better at loving than grieving it seems But what if they are two sides of the very same coin sacred gateways no one gets to miss We crawl in And move through the Chrysalis, this Earth suit spirit vessel complex container of right-doing and wrong-doing of breath and longing Celebrating first steps first languages first kisses first fuck ups Hearts and promises break fortunes and families we make and we do our best to keep the peace and find the pieces and keep the quickness in our paces turning circles and breaking cycles before they break us all the while trying to coax slow moments out of time and big dreams out of small spaces We syncopate odd hits and the things we can't control and we entrain with that which draws us in familiar melodies and soft voices If you're listening, You'll find the music It's the bridge between worlds the language between lovers and strangers Lullabies, sighs and hums primal screams, ballads, death marches with shadow skin drums The universal symphony of sounds And the silences between them inviting us in to the Chrysalis, this Warm embrace of a loving infinite Awash with colors never even imagined we'll all be home soon enough and time will prove its timelessness But here and now with me spend time in this Chrysalis wilderness Earth humming Vibrational bliss Sensing creature ethereal kiss Don't go before you play your song Please don't go before you play your song
