This World
I'd offer this world
if worlds I could hold
Build you a fortress
with immortal gold
rid the sun
of power and age
orbit the stars
around you, engage
opposite poles
gravitie's might
to float on a cloud
of endless delight
tame the lion
beast of field
bow him before
your knees, he would yield
as your protector
of heart and of smile
walking beside your
every mile
I'd chart 7 oceans
and gather to one
a island of plenty
to bask in the sun
where berries so sweet
grow forth everyday
after a meal
the eagles would play
I'd dress them as generals
four stars on they're chest
and after a laugh
you'd lay for a rest
Robins would carry you
without a sound
to squirrels that burry
your dreams in the ground
planting the seed
stretching, a vine
breaking the earth
with fruit of your mind
and under the shade
I'd fashion a ring
from silvery fish
born of the stream
then humble my pride
bough on my knee
offer this world
you've given to me
