And as the tank was 'bout to run him o'er
I contemplated where a man would go
When frosty wind slammed close life's tatterd door
While in a trance I stared at blades of grass
And in each molecule I saw a world
I begged the earth to let the moment pass
But in my heart the great flag was unfurled
Once at the mall I claimed my mother's hand
But in the distance someone else I spied
A laughing angel, stars at her command
She could not see me; I fell down and cried
Once in the summer I walked to the park
A tree embraced me as I told my tale
I begged the earth to keep at bay the dark
I saw you then and all my senses failed
