Chatterbox (Pt. 2)

One hundred purple lotus in the lake

In the middle where it's still

One hundred purple lotus on a mirror

Where it's dark and deep

Accessible only to bees and hummingbirds

They don't see their beauty, they only see the food

I wish I was a leaf that could float over the surface

Instead of a person who would sink down among the roots

And snakes and seamonsters who bump against my legs

Suitcase full of candles, hat stuffed with prayers

The candles drop out one by one

They fall and roll across the floor

White and perfect, unlit souls

And the prayers escape into the air, dark vapors in the night

Am I asleep or am I awake?

Do I like pie or do I like cake?

Am I here or am I there?

In my bed or in my chair?

Who knows what, if what is there?

Standing in a sandbox, kicking over castles

Didn't anyone ever tell you?

If you stand deep enough in a hole during the day

You can see the stars

Megawatts, electric sparks

Crackling deep into the dark

Reaching fingers seeking out

On the ground our small white hearts

Pulling together our positives and negatives

In the thunder and the storms

We'll feel together and alone

Our tiny feelings sprouting beside us, encircling us

Illuminated in the flashes of the sky

They grow a little each time we see them

Small buds and tender shoots in a garden fed by lightning

We'll sit together breathing in the earth and sky while

Trees tower over our heads, blowing madly north to south

We'll be together and alone

Blue heaven high heaven dear heaven real heaven all heaven

My heaven yes heaven seventh heaven ripe heaven

Smile heaven sleep heaven deep heaven clear heaven

Any heaven more heaven floating heaven warm heaven

Soft heaven home heaven new heaven yummy heaven

Free heaven live heaven silent heaven holy heaven

Simply heaven sweet heaven fluffy heaven this heaven

Happy heaven wide heaven endless heaven our heaven

Be heaven fine heaven light heaven white heaven bright heaven

Praise heaven tender heaven still heaven one heaven

Forever heaven how heaven now heaven

Heaven is now heaven on earth
