Meet Me

Baby, lets go to that village
lets make that village
with tomatoe vines, potatoe fields
and free happy chickens
Baby, there is so much work to do
at this village
birthing babies, digging wells,
felting, writing, digging
with dirt up to the elbows
building that house
and when that lake is ready
think about all that swimming!
Baby, think about all those ladies
with nothing to do
and then with a meaning
and that funny boy with no place
he can live with us
and his friends...
May be a ski slope
may be a place of calm and beauty
and an indulgence for the senses
may be a writers retreat
or a place to grow new people
different people, free, courageous people
with mud, a fiddle and a daisy in our hair
Baby, meet me soon,
we have so much work to do!
