With My Eyes

I love the warm, summer breeze
— The way the air moves and rustles in the trees.
The interplay of light and shadow on the ground
Reminds me of something.

Sunlight dancing on a rock, and
All of us, lifeforms, moving ‘round on top,
And what are we here for? It’s a mystery to me.
What would you tell me?

Freedom, wisdom,
Here in the Garden while it’s happening. I
See it with my eyes. I
See it with my eyes.

Simple thoughts give me energy, and
Fill my brain with curiosities. Like
What are these faces for, and am I really always
Behind one?

Freedom, wisdom,
Here in the Garden while it’s happening. I
See it with my eyes. I
See it with my eyes.

I get to practice going out on a limb.
I’m a monkey on a swing, and what
Riches I find
I know I can bring.

Freedom, wisdom,
Here in the Garden while it’s happening. I
See it with my eyes. I
See it with my eyes.
