Write On It A Tune

to bring me back to you

I’ll make you a paper airplane

To lift you from the depths of pain,

To wrench your soul from the frozen grips

Of the tundra that frosted your heart and lips.

 

I’ll sing you songs to calm your dreams

To lay you down next to rippling streams,

To banish the shadows that lie in your mind

And fill them with a love bright and undefined.

 

I’ll carve you a sea’s shell of stone

To carry the sea’s secrets to you alone

To make you see that you’re not the only one

Whose seams of life are coming undone

 

I’ll paint you a second moon in the sky

To reflect every child’s laugh and broken cry

To remind you that you need the dark to value light

And guide you through your most wearisome plight

 

I will take that paper and write on it the tune

To teach the shell to sing to the moon

That moon controls the tides of effervescent blue

That I trust to bring me across this sea and back to you
