Wilting and Blooming
You make me shiver
Like the timber
In the coldest winter
And I remember
You were limber
And you’re back again
No, we’re not lovers
We were fighters
Now we’re barely friends
But If you knew how much I thought
About the time we spent
You would know how much you owe
For all the space you rent
And no I wouldn’t take it back
Cause I don’t need regret
What would I do
With all the thoughts
In the woods that you done bought
Where I go pitch a tent
But if you lit a fire
It would surely burn me down
The embers of my skin
Are ashes falling to the ground
Orange and gray dancers
Gently twirl into the earth
I hear your whispering rains
Singing songs about new birth
But it wouldn’t be for us
It’s clear it must be new
Imbibing crystal water
Like the twinkling morning dew
We could learn the different ways
To stop and smell the flowers
In these lovely morning showers
Walking through the shimmer
Of these gray but sunlit days

This had a hip hop vibe to it!
