Lilies

All
My friends
See stars
Put me in the light again
Come on put me in the light again

Though all
Things fall
They don’t fall this far
I’m reaching for that higher ground
I keep losing in the most alarming ways

So you can find
Me in
The pond

Tangled in the lily pads
Held up by a puppet string

And you can drag
You can drag me out
And leave me in some garden
With the branches growing over me
Now that I’m back home in eternity

But how can I leave here
And live in the soil
When all things that warmed me
Are here with these mortals?

How can I leave here?
How can I leave here?
But how can I live here?
How can I live here?
