The Right Ones

A piece of spoken word poetry that I perform sometimes. I know of this place..I've seen it in my dreams.

The Right Ones

I know where the right wind blows
Fragrant scenes from across the sea
I know where the right ones grow
Took a scent on the breeze to enlighten me
I know where the desert wakens
To the pulse of a something passing through the trees
I've been where a childhood's known
Been to where the widow weeps peacefully.

I know where the wild ones grow
Arrow-straight past the promised possibilities
I know where the meadow's laughter
Meets the river's rambling revelry
I know where the done days done
Where the soul sleeps a whole lot better
And where everyone belongs
Twilight bringing them together
To share the day's events remembered
With the fading fireside's final embers.

I know summer's fires remind me
Of the passing possibilities to lose
I know of the painful places
Walked a mile in whoever's shoes
Left my heart behind a thousand ways
Behind in a thousand pieces...places
But I know where the wild thorn grows
I know where the right ones grow
Folded in the arms of the standing bramble
Safe from the savages and their concrete illusions
Sunny wonders born of innocence and unity
In another time
In a different place
A better way of celebrating life
Which feeds the warmth of childhood recollections
Makes them strong.
Keeps them safe and full of wonder
The wonder of the innocent remains
The only truest mantra ever uttered
I know where the hearts are guarded
I know where the garden's tended carefully
I know where the future started
Took a trip to the past to enlighten me.
