Love

"just listen" 
even beyond our pessimism 
the winds of everything's ok blow our way 
every once in a while 
even the most cynical cannot hide the smile 
slowly softening the sides of their faces 
move your hand from your mouth sweet child 
let us see you for who you are 
all we are is in the mirror of this moment 
and everything we ever needed to know 
we could have found in a love song 
but we were too busy dancing 
to just listen 
there are no signs outside these towns 
these towns with endless rows of giant summer trees 
and willows gently brushing green the ground 
of majestic white august houses 
the only way to know you have arrived 
is to stop and see for yourself 
see if this is the home we have sought for so long 
and perhaps the time has come to just listen 
as the screams in our heads die down 
and breath in violet petals across our terraces 
you will find paradise wherever you seek it 
just because of who you are
