PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

in a dream, i'm in a room

surrounded by numbered "aww"ing faces

different clocks move and vanish

each at their own pace

a growing seed, dry wall comes down

ev'rything clears to a forest of spruces

seemingly..

stretching as far as my mind



well i focus on certain ones and, like others,

i don't quite know the reasons why

but i - i understand now all the rules that apply

i understand now all the rules that apply



this woodland is gonna light up at christmas time

in the same motion it's gonna be cut down before its prime

time again it's gonna burn in a forest fire

willingly points out that there's very few evergreens in life



you see,

there's billions of people out there

but somehow to each of us there are certain ones



that always stand out



for the last seven years you've stood out in my mind, heather  

so merry christmas, you probably always will



you probably always will



r.e.m., kite in a room

tangled up by branches, pine cones and solstice

i have no control over these thoughts

each struggle for a place

growing trees wanting to be watered

many things cleared to focus on the point

help me see..

stretching as far as my mind



dream mind's focused on certain ones and, unlike others,

i'm certain i know the reasons why

and i - i understand now all the rules that apply

i understand now all the rules that apply



this woodland is gonna light up at christmas time

in the same motion it's gonna be cut down before its prime

time again it's gonna burn in a forest fire

willingly points out that there's very few evergreens in life



you see,

there's billions of people out there

but somehow to each of us there are certain ones



that always stand out



for the last seven years you've stood out in my mind, heather  

so merry christmas, you probably always will



you probably always will



it's a beautiful scenery and it's hard to question

it's hard to doubt there's a point to the next sentence

cause i know all that is left to say

is not much else...



just listening for a response

in a forest that stretches on

seemingly...

stretching as far as my mind



stretching as far as my mind just to reach you
