Curious Canyons

thank you Franziska

Today I find myself relieved to see
I am not alone in the universe
Somebody here likes to visit with me
Just the way I am for better or worse
Baggage and all my dancing in haunted
Houses all my sea stones answered at last
Hope for the present if not for the past

I guess this is all I ever wanted
Waiting for love to come patiently when
I needed it most but not until then
Wondering if my doing might be done
But you see life remains and I agree
Thank you Franziska for being the one
To remind me how things are meant to be

In these curious canyons of the mind
Together we can wonder about things
Get big ideas about leaving behind
Those nightmare things which the night watchman sings
Our real friends seem impossible to find
Because they were never lost anyway
Thank you Franziska thank you for today
