MARBLES WITH MILESTONES

Walking in the sunlight where the fence posts cut the land
Where rolling hills echo the movements of my body
Where crows gather in the Oak tree
I can feel you waiting for me
Watching for me
And I can face death more quietly
And breathe more easily
Beneath the one that watches you and me play
Marbles with milestones

We rush through our day
Holding our dreams above us
Piling our deeds
Throwing our seeds before us
Building bridges the old fashioned way
For the crossing of our memories on parade
In rolling thunder caves
Where destiny is made
Where you and I have played
Marbles with milestones

Repeat Verse 1
