Free these veins
From chains
Formed by
ticking hands
And growing sums-
Beat, beat, beat
The heart
With songs of smiles
and wondrous thought,
Chase the firefly
Through these woods
Of wander
In the midst of lovely dawn.
When the sun breaks
Splinters gray sky
With burning red and gold
Beat, beat, beat
The heart with paintings of wild
And stuttering shadows.
Release the firefly
Shift to flutterby
With delicate wings
Meant to go
Sea to sea-
Wander from the woods
Your newborn path
Rise with the sun
Find the truth
Outside the ticking hands
And growing sums.
