Yellow Brick Road
If my heart had hands
It would draw a kaleidoscope
Of pastel purples and blues
Lemonade clouds and cherry lollipops
A forest path full of note card clues
Each word would lead
To the most beautiful of places
With creatures in watercolor hues
Scenes blending into one another
From vibrant reds to grassy mountain views
Follow hushed whispers
That come alive from rough paper
Into the wild that I’ll lead you through
Close your eyes and open your mind
Abandon paved roads which tend to skew
Tearing up yellow bricks
I put up castles in their place
Away from chaos that others tend to brew
To steer away those wandering eyes
Golden petals on the ground I strew
Within sights I’ve crafted
Myself I’ve poured into each line
Green orbs reflect the morning dew
And melt into chocolate by noon
Crystal river’s flowing, but its you I jump into
Put together my pretty letters
And read them word for word
Over and over, I write this tale anew
Pen to paper, soft taps on keys
My dear, I’ve spelled it out for you
