Skip Fall
05:23
|

|
Our steps still flushing
Moths from in the tall grass
The night’s noises still trilling
Late summer’s song
The light’s changing
The dark creeps in sooner now
The transition in these weeks
Is right and due
But I’m not cheering for the fall
Autumn smells and death in bloom
The faint trace of fires burning
Less romantic this time through
My heart is skipping chapters it’s true
Jump ahead to this December
When the world meets you
I should live all the moments, Fall too
But I can’t wait for winter and you

When I Met You
03:15
|

|
Thought I’d seen a few things
Thought I knew about love
Thought I understood beauty
I knew what I was made of
But then I met you
And my heart went inside out
Nothing could prepare me
Defend against those eyes
Eyes that I fall in through
Enter futures wild
Unknown and untameable
All possible, all true
Your dreams are my mission
I’ll chase them with you

Once Upon a Time
03:54
|
|||
|
I wish I could bottle your smell
And keep it forever
Press it flat between the pages
Of your favorite book so
We can forget it’s there
And discover it later
Waiting for us
Brittle but still
What it is
Or what it was
When I put it there
Once upon a time

Now it’s time to sleep and dream

Little Baby
02:12
|
|||
|
Where are you going, little baby?
What have you got in store?
What are your plans for this morning, little baby?
What is that little pocket for?
Tiny fists clenched around
Mystery lint
Tight-gripped treasure
Fleeting little grins

She's More
03:47
|
|||
|
Sweeter than the evening breeze
Mixed with golden hour’s fading
She can make the winter spring
Open blossoms with her eyes’ gleam
I know that she will always
be the one who makes our hearts sing
She’s more everything than everyone
She’s as smart as she is sweet
And her smile lights up my morning

Expert at Happiness

You’re an expert at happiness
Got a hundred different smiles
Vous êtes un expert du bonheur
Vous avez une centaine de sourires différents

Are You Hungry?
01:21
|
|||
|
You got your mom’s left boob
And a 4 ounce bottle
To start off the day
Give you energy for toddling
You just ate... are you hungry?
Avocado and banana
Maybe peanut butter
Or a half a waffle
So your feet can pitter putter
You just ate... are you hungry?
Done with breakfast
So it’s hi ho on the derry oh
Now you’re begging mom
For her soggy cereal
You just ate... are you hungry?
Bottle then a nap
Wake and eat some more
Maybe baby food
In a pouch or in a jar
You just ate... are you hungry?
Broccoli and carrots
Orange and green
Not green and orange
Because that’s too hard to rhyme
You just ate... are you hungry?

I Promise

This is the second time
I get to be your father on Father’s Day
There’s things I can’t tell you yet
But I still need to say
I promise to be there
To be kind, to be listening
I promise that I’ll learn
Everything you need me to know
I promise that I’ll teach you
When you’re ready, how to read
Between the lines of what
They told you or conveniently forgot
I promise that the world is filled
With wonders and amazingness
Remember people love you even when
The wonder’s hard to see
I promise that when things are hard
You’ll have the strength to persevere
I promise that you’re stronger than you think
I promise that the lessons that
You’re teaching me on how to love
Will be used with my other loves
And chosen family
I promise to be open to my faults
And to my blind spots
I promise when I’m stubborn
To be possible to reach
I promise to be there
To be kind, to be listening
I promise that I’ll learn
Everything you need me to know

Mother's Day
04:08

You say you alway knew
That you were meant to be
The one we love and honor
On Mother’s Day
Thank you for the
Countless, endless, constant times
You carried us inside your mind
Making sure that we’d be fine
No matter what came down the line
Thinking of our happiness
Making sure that we stay blessed
Through every one of our life’s tests
The universe can’t shake our nest
Thank you for the
Little things and big things too
Nothing can compare to you
Deep down inside we know it’s true
We are so lucky that you’re you

Beautifully textured work. Superficially static but rich in harmonic tension and movement. The short form benefits the material.
