Frolic

Let’s find time to play together
In a children’s land of toys
Let’s play honest injun
As if we’re little boys

Let’s walk into the desert
To view the clear night sky
Let’s splurge and rent a glider
And learn how eagles fly

Let’s find an immaculate artist
Who ties our souls in knots
Let’s create our own style music
And dance in parking lots

Let’s take a pair of horses
That’ll find the long way home
Through the upland forests
And across cold brooks we’d roam

We can let puppies lick our faces
As we squeal in delight
We can turn our backs against the wind
To fly a silken kite
Let’s not forget the romance
Of Paris in the spring
Or that welling of the spirit
A quiet gondola might bring

Let’s stroll on desolate beaches
On some South Pacific isle
We can learn from their people
How to linger for a while

Let me pick for you an orchid
And place it behind your ear
Then speak to you so softly
You must stay oh so near

I hope you don’t find me forward
Moving in blind haste
Discovery should come quite slowly
As we find each other’s taste

I guess I can meander
And lose the focus of my tale
But I find life exciting
Even if I can’t tell it well
