Return
Back in my human skin again
After the years I have been going
Since I communed with you beneath the pines
You lifted burdens from my soul
I felt redeemed through months of summer closeness and love
It now seems subtler than graphene
Perhaps not an atom in depth
My friends still see no real
In anything that’s real to me
But I know inside is not out
It is what holds the planet up
And what I had then finally returned
It may be here a day or evermore
There is no nevermore
I have friends in high places
They agree with me
They do not play with loaded guns
They play cards we’ve never seen
They see the far off galaxies that fill our tiny neighborhood
They do not care what anyone meant
At least not for credit or publication
I am dead back believe it
I feel better than I did ever
I have the same sense as then
The world tried to steal all of it
But I have overcome
You should see
I am on a little road
Walking with no care
Freer than I would ever be again
So I thought until today
