Caroline
She welcomes me with ease
A stray dog in the breeze
that needs a place to stay until morning
I sit down
admit I failed at spaghetti
How did I fail to make spaghetti?
But she laughs and says "that's fine,
have this - it's made from lentil beans"
She shows me some new proofs
Some nonsense, but others proof
that she's finding her own way
with something new to say
In the way
Something we've talked about before,
but only 'cos it's true
It's kinda hard to tell what speed you're going at
when everything is spinning
By this time next May,
we'll go our separate ways
Though that could be the same direction anyway
Oh, friend,
in truth, I often think
that if you ever go
people won't know if they're saying goodbye
or hello
'Cos they won't be able to tell
the difference between your face
the flowers you lay upon
and the dirt
What a beautiful thing that must be,
to end your life blending in with the nature that surrounds you
