Leaves were shaking
A soul was screaming
He spilled it all that day
Left foot walking on the snare, near a sidewalk,
he hears of motorcycles while they’re sweeping
It’s a desert
Swore he found armor on the ground
Told he’d hear the wind when the time’s right
A lifetime of the calm of the night
Couldn’t be
just a dream,
it’s breathing
Right foot aching like a heart near a phone call
he hears of everyday people, life leaping with joy
It’s wherever
Clouds were leaking
A soul was growing
He spilled it all that day
this is your life chuck johnson
