A man who knows how to swiftly build islands
Is alone and consoled by his still skies
He leads a life of many small smiles
And slight nods accompanied by quiet eyes
When it rains
His glass fills with water
And he drinks slow drops
To feel their decline
And his porch swing groans from years of waiting
To test his bridge
And tickle the vine
He treks light through great fields of sorrow
And he finds great rocks by jagged thunder
Well he picks one up simply to borrow
His skin torn, and blood it trickled under
He trips on trains and bridges build quickly
Skies they shake and rattle out loud
Warm and torn the sweat treats his skin
Smiles flash forth kind eyes they cloud
When it rains
his glass leaks with water
And he sees slow drops
To watch their decline
And his porch swing breaks from continual waiting
Of unloved bridge
And numb unfeeling vine
