Looking Up



Many seasons have found
Me down on the ground
Looking up at the sky
For what comes around

For what more than for why
Like I did before
Why not my reason I
Still am anyway
Until I am no more

I had to be me
Apparently and so
I learned the hard way
I had to be though mad

But I came to see
It turned out not so bad
Learning reasons for
The seasons round and round
Turning as they go

So I am glad to be
Going on to grow
Especially today
Knowing what I know

Especially in spring
Knowing I would do
It all over again
More than anything
It was good to come true

Even though I had
To be mad I am glad
I had to have been
To do what I had to

My way out was in
Why not my reason why
Knowing now is when
On my way in I found
Me down on the ground

For now and not for then
Looking up down through
The years it took somehow
For me to be now

For what comes around
Looking up at the sky

Yes, some of our best thinking comes from lying on the ground and "seeing" the clouds. So very cool, Steven!

Love ya!
