Stretch the mind and fuel the matter
In the darkness of the light
Keep your visions in your sight

Repel the bottom when you fall
Make them listen when you call
Don’t let the up become a down
Hold the smile between your frown

Fix your heart upon your sleeve
Shed a tear but never grieve
Invest in memories, locked away
To dry you on the rainy day

Lock all your secrets with a key
Show only what they need to see
Don’t hold your words inside your head
Most words are usually better said

Hear the music, feel the dance
Test yourself on sweet romance
Keep your lover in your heart
Release him when its time to part

Tend your buds and watch them thrive
See them fill your life with pride
Show them just the best of you
And set them on a path that’s true

Catch a smile and hold it near
Keep it for a hundred years
Don’t reveal your face to sorrow
Or leave a trail where it can follow

Turn away when life is dreary
Rest awhile when you are weary
Keep the cold winds out at night
Wait for the sunrise bringing light

Untangle life with knotted fingers
Touch a soul but never linger
Mark a path through fields of gold
And follow it when you grow old

Don’t let the zero hour strike on
Until the tapestry is done
No more threads are left to weave
Wrap up warm before you leave

Rhino.

I haven't spoke to you in ages. Did you write this one? It's sentimental and charming yet holds an edge of remorse and sadness.
