Cage Bloom

Pretty Thunder

This is for you
Who has been gone a long time
Your whereabouts and what you did are unimportant

Me
I have been here
Within, but not hidden, among the Fern and Redwoods

How I love you in a way beyond measure

Boy of Sunshine
Boy of our Barrio
Boy of our Flatlands, Deep Sticks and Cold Rivers
Boy at the Mouth of the Bay
You are the Black Salmon Running
Some whisper and say you will not make it
I know you will

Eye of laughter
Eye of many miles
Misunderstood
Boy of Good Heart
Who became a Man

You loved me in Rain Time you loved me in Sun Time
This I will always remember

gmc: my french, for the reading is crap,- Not what it use to be. I try to keep up with it by reading as much as I can, that is why my blog roll is primarily French speakers. I try to relearn. Also auditory is difficult when spoken too fast and with slang. I am not in a way that I use it so much anymore but it is important for me to continue to study and relearn.

superfly: yes love, it is from fantaland, land of tin milk, nescafe, goat racing, goat stealing and "do I now look as bad as in my passport?"
