It’s not about you
It never was about you
I know enough about you
To know it’s not that

It’s about you
Not being you

This town the state
The whole small world
Not being as it is

The cows in the field
Not lifting their heads
Not feeling the need
To take in the light

It’s about not being
Happy lucky being alone

A leap of faith
It’s about a river
Deep and blue
Under a wooden bridge

A river
Flowing out to sea
Under an ocean of stars

And it all
The river the bridge
The sea and stars

Having meaning
A special significance
To an idea of us

Intensely captivating and beautiful, dear John. I think we all need to rediscover who we really are.
