The BlueIris Semi-Nightly Poetry Break, 12/20/07 Bonus
Posted because I'm in a mood.

"Walk Into This Room"

Don't let 'em get to your heart
Don't lose your diamonds swimmin' in a lake when it's only a garden
The whole wide world feels like a shrine built to the worker bees
Who stole it from god anyhow

Lay it down child
Lay it down child
And walk into this room

Don't let 'em get to your spark
That little light in the back of everything that says this
Isn't for madder love
The whole wide world feels like a clan of mad scientists removing the genes
So they can freeze-dry you and put you in a box

Lay it down child
Lay it down child
And walk into this room all made with love for you
Lay it down child
You can
You can
Lay it down child
And walk into this room

A hundred candles to make the walls come alive
A little frankincense to sweeten the air just right
Now take my hand
And open the door
And open the door

Lay it down child
You can
You can
Lay it down child
And walk into this room
Walk into this room
Lay it down child
Just lay it down, lay it down
Lay it down
Lay it down, lay it down
Into this room

—Edward Kowalczyk and Neneh Cherry

7. My dear BlueIris...
Looks like good advice to me...

What a lovely poem this is...


The world changes when good poetry comes into it, or so I've heard...

Thank you!
