I'll record it in the morning.



White apple tree blossom is blown by the wind,
all is thrown now.
How it finds the earth's bosom! How all fades, of its kind.
All is down, now.

Learning to touch is just learning goodbye,
slow, and steady.
Learning to live is just learning to die,
and die, easy.

Seven sunflowers grow, honey-bee loud and tall:
Your golden garden.
At first, you lose two; then their weight kills them all,
their seed their burden.

Learning to grow is just learning to fall
though unready.
Learning to love's to let go at a call,
and die, easy ...


and die, easy.

    This one is unusual for you because the words are so simple. :)

    (I like it!!!) :D

    I hope they're deceptively simple, though. Thanks, justam. :)

    For me, simple is never bad. :)

    holy smokes.... fins this is an awesome set of lyrics. i agree with justam about the simplicity, and what unexpectedly fresh reading this makes.

    the blossom's a skirt
    torn off by the wind's need to know
    what is leftover, is leftover to show
    to turn into apple
    knowing's best metaphor


    dying easy... how enlightened?


    bravo :D:):D

    if you keep topping yourself, you're going to have to duck to get under the moon

    Real nice Fins... makes me wish I could write something meaningful. Even a meaningful reply would have been good...





    Oh well, failed that.
    "this one, anytime I say love if you wanna say love, uh, say it, and if you say it you might as well say it loud, and if you don't feel like sayin' it, don't say it, but if you feel it, certainly say it..."

    NOTE: Everything I write in the P,P&M section are intended to be songs, not poetry.

    Oh, it's called Learning To Fall, now. Hope you don't mind the lo-fi. My studio recordings are on the other myspace page.

    It's different than I expected, but still a bit dreamy sounding which I did imagine it would be. :)
