Twenty Years Ago

If you have a daughter you learn many things
You learn first how they really want to live

You can sing whenever you want
People with daughters can sing to them

Things got broken in new ways
Life found clear meaning
No one was sleeping if someone wasn't sleeping
Couldn't just leave a mess anymore

Things got created in new ways
My love started walking around
Something more than me
Becoming something new everyday

Twenty years ago

What I Sea

No one looks at this process
All around we see them
Water cycles to the sea
We mostly wet

We are these processes
We have end results
All would seem with reason
No one finds an end

God knows evolution easy
We will know more and less
Would rather balloon in Venus than farm on Mars

Words make good music and turn sounds
Poetry will lie
Will make things seem simple
Like they can be separated
