canopy

Sometimes we miss what’s still around Sometimes we fall and we miss the sound So I’m crying out I’m shouting loud now Mom can you see that I called the battle off From the battle ground Everyone went home I’m still carrying Swords and throwing stones And the singing coming from the trees Is me on the canopy For you to see with the light from the sun I will move every cloud Sometimes we can’t see what shines Too much light falling into fragile eyes Sometimes we call and we miss the sound So I’m calling and following you now I can’t move mountains but I can sing from canopies I can’t see forests without touching every single tree I can’t form sentences but I’ll make this apology With all the sounds I find around me from the birds and the beauty And I can’t hear the the sound of falling And I can’t miss what’s already here I won’t give you another chance To tell me your can’t hear me Sometimes we miss what’s still around Sometimes we miss what’s still around Sometimes we miss what’s still around Sometimes we miss what’s still around (2021)
