"The Lady"
Where the sleepy fern fronds
Wave their fingers of green
Like fans that ladies wave
To keep out the elements
Where the goldfish play listlessly
In pools of mucky green
And children duck in and out
Of a forest of thick vines
I gasped when I saw you emerge
Your garment was blue silver
You were standing there like a gift
I knew you were meant just for me
Playing idly with your hair
We looked and looked at each other
I started following you around
And you led me away from there
We wandered the earth
Without going anywhere
Your cloak smelled of heaven
And you called me by name
The man that I loved
Had become a beautiful woman
But women are yucky
But only except for you
I'll never tell them you are a girl
I'll keep on following behind you
Your perfume like flowers
Guiding me through the earth
Though I wander forever
I'll follow behind you
Like mist in a garden
You'll keep me from harm
In Jesus' Name,
Amen
