Digging In
Grow Restless


 

Digging In

The human body
Like a snail
It's not the shell but what is found inside it
You know the body
It will fail
Even though you're going to try to fight it

The human brain
Like a snail
It will retract to where it's safe and quiet
You know the brain
It will fail
Even though you're going to try to fight it

But oh I was digging in my garden
Pulling weeds and planting seeds
And there unearthed was a beautiful shell
Oh, the most beautiful shell I've ever seen

The human heart
Like a snail
Outside it's hard but then it's soft in private
You know the heart
It will fail
Even though you're going to try to fight it

But oh I was digging in my garden
Pulling weeds and planting seeds
And there unearthed was a beautiful shell
Oh, the most beautiful shell I've ever seen

Grow Restless

Mystery Man in a marvelous scene
  Moves
    Millions
      To liberty

Master plan in a minuscule seed
  Moves
    Mountains
      Impossibly

Mustache planned for a covert
  Mission
    Maybe
      Mistakenly

Missed Your hand and the pressure
  Meant for
    Safety
      Inherently

Must I seek for the Maker's
  Mask will
    Shape me
      Impressively

Mustard seed in the desert
  May you
    Shade me
      Eventually

Mud stained feet on a mountain peak
  Make
    Shelter
      In cedar trees

Mostly sleep while the scattered seeds
  Grow
    Restless
      Impatiently

"In Retrospect"
