I saw moon again tonight
She waltzes with Saturn’s reflection
It’s hot and they were levitating
I saw Jupiter through one eye
These two droll dreaming
Summer hounds of desire
I saw misery in the distance
Plotting with a new king
I could despair but no!
There are peaches in my orchard~

what to carry
what to let go
complicate
simplify
shed
layer on
retreat
release
grab a fistful of grateful
hold it close keep it warm
past is past
none returns again
breathe out
breathe in
hold steady all possibility
of the moment you’re in🪶
One of these days
you’ll see you’ll see
Civility will
return
It will be cool again
to smile
to say hello
welcome you stranger
One of these days
you’ll see you’ll see
Love will
prevail
It will be cool again
to reach
to say alright
take my hand
One of these days
you’ll see you’ll see
Humility will
rise
It will be cool again
to surrender
to say everything
with open minds
One of these days
you’ll see you’ll see
Honesty will
dominate
It will be cool again
to aspire
to say quality
reflects the light
One of these days
you’ll see you’ll see
Possibility will
multiply
It will be cool again
to imagine
to say knowledge
belongs to everyone
One of these days
you’ll see you’ll see
Greatness will
elevate
It will be cool again
to understand
to say yes
everyone here belongs
