A New Backyard

 

Leaveth you now do I

      how I wish to stay

How close to you be I here

      we meet in my backyard

The lake, hills, streams and sky

      my mind is with you now

      together consciousness we be

Off be I to a new backyard

      more people, places, things

      will you find me there?

      can we still meet as one?

      would I forget you there?

Worried and scared be I

I fear the loss of the beauty I have found.
