Pipe Dreams 2

I’m going back to roots

To the country roads down to the pond

My single source of truth

Where the cricket sounds drown out bonds

We hold to our phones

The service won’t cut through, bask in the silence own

The moment almost lost in my youth

City dwellin’ had me

Like Magellan

Focused hard on conquest

No regard for consequence

Urban fever stifles

Brightside dreamers

Lost my optimism

Fueled by egoism

It was all a Pipe Dream

Self-absorbed get-rich-scheme

Psyche warped and lost a friend

Yet paid its worth with a lesson

I’m building deeper roots

To ensure that I don’t make the same mistake

With you

We’ve built a life, may buy a house on a lake

Or a poolWhere the birds sing loud, we call it

A nest for two

Our single source of truth

It was all a Pipe Dream

Self-absorbed get-rich-scheme

Psyche warped and lost a friend

Yet paid its worth with a lesson

It was all a Pipe Dream

In an effort to feel seen

An irreplaceable lesson

If I had to do it again

I’d do it all over again
