Five Acres

Stay away from the falling leaves of my Autumn Colors that keep me company While strangled by your black and white escape Keep your distance from my blue skied blue eyed stranger Who cares for the comfort of my sliced up soul Seek your solace and pretend it offers healing Walk your five acres knowing you walked away from me Step after deliberate step Surveying the ground you announced keeps you grounded I know it will never flower the garden you desire Maintain a sure and safe distance From where my ocean waves break Your rivers may run deep but never with the might of my sea Kindly look away from the lady in the long dress As she slips down the Avenue of I Will Love Again Pounding the pavement of letting go Strolling towards a welcoming horizon That is bigger and brighter than your five acres
