If you admire the creek
just wait and let things flow
There’s time to see where the water goes

Yes, the snow
may melt someday
Roll down the mountain and wash us all away

But if that ever happened
the only thing I’d care about
is whether I was there without –
Well –

And if that’s the way it is
I think I’ll take the path of least resistance

Like the light through a prism
Turn it over, let it show
Take it in, every precious angle
I’d like to know

We may never fully understand
though we like to think we can
All our dreams and imagination
Squarely limited
by the follies
of man

The world is getting warmer
like my heart in mid-September
a tentative projection
of a positive direction
and the autumn gives me so much to remember
