take me to open
travel me
mercy my only known one
yes you
leave everything that you cannot give away
then give the rest away that moment
then listen to the songs of the carnival
listen to the calliopes
listen to the flowers
they sing a beautiful song
and if those words bring you any discomfort
just read them again
and continue to do so
until you realize the child in you is correct
who knows that listening to flowers
does have the sound of a particular song
you know you believed it
when your were five
and god was just a friend
you were wise
and love was an absolute
you bet would last forever
like breath
