Lately, he’s up with the sun
Lately, he feels he’s only just begun
“Calm my nerves
Ease my mind
Laugh at worry left behind”
They leap off a branch
They soar out of Spring
Leave to leave themselves
Leave to spread their wings
Take their time and sing
Lately, she’s ready to run
Lately, she seeks the scorch of the sun
“Hold my hand
Soothe my soul
Fill me up, make me whole”
They head for the clouds
They jump for the Fall
Leave to leave themselves
Leave to dance life’s ball
They stand up so tall
The breeze, it blows
It twists words her way
She hears, “I could fly now”
She writes, “Day by day”
Seasons change
Warmth and comfort stay
Collapsing, he whispers a name
She rolls up her eyes,
“I was so empty before you came”
this is your life chuck johnson
