There’s A Turtle On The Pole

Unpublished

With each grain of sand
I hold in my hand
Like clouds these thoughts
Go floating by
Whatever was
Cannot be undone
All we share is this moment in time

There’s a turtle on the pole
A turtle on the pole
There’s a turtle on the pole of my life

The harder I try
The harder it gets
To be where we long to be
The more that I learn
The more I long to know
From where, for what, who am I

There’s a turtle on the pole
A turtle on the pole
There’s a turtle on the pole of my life

The more I give away
The more I have to give
The more I have in my life
To give away
With each note I play
Beneath these wings in flight

There’s a turtle on the pole
A turtle on the pole
There’s a turtle on the pole of my life

If only I could
You know that I would
If only I could, my love
