I've buried things
Parts of my life
Deep in the forest
Beyond the sacred spring
Out in my yard
I've buried things
Those guarded graves
Remains of dead cats and dogs
Bones of panthers and bears
That dwelt in secret caves
I've buried dreams
Beneath my bed
Remnants of prayers I once said
I've watched the stars and moon
Prance beneath my restive head
Instead of dancing
With those ones I loved
Instead I'm thinking
About wondrous Gaia
I bury marvelous things
Purportedly Heaven's peace
Purity and that peaceful dove
I've buried curious things
All that puritan history
All that creative mystery
About inexplicable
God above
