I'm not trying to say I'm crazy
and I wouldn't dare call myself wise
but I look at things through heart shaped pupils
with an inner fire neath my eyes

true my words do ramble
and time ticks by oft fast then slow
but I sit and watched the young grow old
and feel their years and lives in my soul

I watch as raindrops darken stone
and how snow whitens unseen air
and how the blue flames of the cookrange
heat my food, prepared with care

I like the sound of children
when they laugh from the bottom of their toes
and where they get their enegry
I think that no one knows

I know, I'm simply rambling on
about whatever fills my mind
I'm not saying that I'm crazy
I'm just feeling poetically inclined.

" and I dream of her always,
even when I don't dream.
her name's on my tongue
and her blood's in my stream."

Yes, a very nice poetically inclination here, I especially enjoyed the stanza about the children... made me smile at the thought of their boundless engery.

Your wanderings are delightful!

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.
