Thick Skin

A thin layer of fog is clinging to the earth And I am in love with her She talks about how the cherry blossoms bloom But she is blooming too Unfolding herself for the coming sun Readying herself for what's to come New beginnings hanging on the horizon Just beyond her grasp Beyond the rolling fields of growing grass Blankets of green folded over each other Her eyes reach for something further I long to hear her laughter Her head thrown back, and after The way she smiles at me Could bring me to my knees The seasons have come and gone And I still hear a familiar song That hums in my brain When I hear her sweet name Each day that passes I love her more And my heart does soar On wings of robins that circle back come springtime When I am reminded that this love is mine And hers to share Burning bright in the morning air
