We Three (The Gardeners) by Bob MacKenzie When we were young There was a tree: You and I walked in bare feet on the lawn. You walked with me, You talked with me, You with your knowledge and I with my search; Until she found the tree And I followed her there And we had our dessert At the fork in the way: in-out. Oh, see how we run. Raise up the sky; Send me the sun. Towering buildings burn dusk around me. Come from the street, Come from the field, Night and the lambs in blind search of the sun Know the voice of the wind, Know the flickering light, But how well do they know Of the fork in the way: down-up. Oh, see how they run. published: Legend, Volume 2, Number 2, Spring 1973 Stimulus, March 1973 |
