Silver Linings

Silver Linings
Banded windings
Look up now from your chair
Take a walk
Talk and run
Take a breath of fresh air

Watch the ripples
From a stone
Your reflection
Glistens
Sends the warmth
Back home

There’s ancient words
Carved in stone
There’s ancient thoughts
Flying free
Overwater
Over you and me

Still and soft
Without fear or cost
There for you to hear
If you just listened
Close enough

To know the truth
Of what has gone
The science of
What’s to come
Has all been said before
And all been learned
What’s more
Expensive jewels and bands
To love someone
