Gold

I never would have said a year ago

that my life’s looking pretty beautiful;

the rain is crystal and the sun is gold,

and I feel like leaving home.

 

I want to play a song for you,

I want to play the best there is.

You got to start somewhere and the starting’s good,

and I feel like leaving home.

 

Leaving home, cause skyward’s where you’ll stay.

Leaving home, but never feeling quite so far away.

I got to say something while I’m still here thinking,

maybe this isn’t home.

 

The thing I would have said so long ago,

that I live for something big and I’m a miracle;

I guess what they said might just be shown,

and I might just get to leaving home.

 

I want to write some words for you,

I want to write the best there is.

They say I got the way and the way is good,

and I might just get to leaving home.

 

Leaving home, cause skyward’s where you’ll stay.

Leaving home, but never feeling quite so far away.

I got to say something while I’m still here thinking,

maybe this isn’t home.

 

Maybe, just maybe,

this isn’t where I’m supposed to go.

Maybe, just maybe,

I belong on the road,

that glitters cause it’s gold.

 

And I can see it now,

I can see it shining,

everything, it shines.

The music hangs and glistens,

and tells me that it’s fine.

 

Oh maybe, just maybe,

I belong on the road,

that glitters cause it’s gold.

Nice poem :) I love the repetition in your poems it adds something to them but I don't really know exactly what... This seems like it could be a song. Alot of your poems would make great songs like maybe played with just an acoustic guitar or piano I'm not sure.... love it though :)
