Branches

I just wrote this, then turned on my Recorder and Sang it, it's a Song. that was my last 30 minutes, they were good ones.

How many Branches

Do I have to Grow

Before I am Willing

To let my leaves Go

How many Mountains

Do I have to Climb

How many Lessons

To Purify my Wine

How many Shadows

Do I have to Free

Before I can Open

These tired Eyes to See

How many Branches

Do I have to Grow

Before I'm Willing

To let my leaves Go

How many Rainbows

Do I have to turn to Grey

How many Heart Aches

Until they're put at Bay

How many Stories

Did they teach to Me

Before I raised my Guard

And took hold of my Key

How many Branches

Do I have to Grow

Before I'm Blessed

With All I Need to Know

How many Songs

Do I have to Write

How many Lessons

Until I get it Right

How many Rivers

Will I have to Cross

Before I can Rest

In the Cool Moss

How many Branches

Do I have to Grow

Before I'm Willing

To let my leaves Go
