Would I pick the grape
Would I walk the plank
As I stroll away
I think about those days
When we had self doubt
But acted anyway
As I feel an ache
I wander to the cave
Past the stones and reaching vines
Once touched by hands like mine
In the citadel
The echo goes for days
Dark on winter days
It calms me while I stay
Slow I step outside
To drama and dismay
To grass that grows again
Spoiled with every step
Underneath the soil my feet
The sediment holds life
Women are dancing
With their fathers
Children discover
One another
Every joy to be experienced
Every joy that's been experienced
Passing and sublime
