Under the Orange Tree

Would you lie down here with me,

would you try to give into

the lure of the moment?

Would you lie down here with me,

on the blanket under the orange tree,

it’s time to unwrap what has not yet been said.

Like in a snow globe we conserve time,

bring it closer to my eyes,

begin…

to see,

to hear,

to feel,

to be near

(to see)

Can you still remember what was said, (to hear)

so many words yet unexpressed, (to feel)

like a memory outlives history, (to be near)

embodied thoughts will water the seeds.

Would you climb up when I go first?

Out of the confines into the sublime

we burst hand in hand, we land

on to the soft ground of unseen imageries,

rewriting our history

Tell me how, so that we do not forget..

(to see)

Can you still remember what was said, (to hear)

so many words yet unexpressed, (to feel)

like a memory outlives history, (to be near)

embodied thoughts will water the seeds.

(to see)

Can you still remember what was said, (to hear)

so many words yet unexpressed, (to feel)

like a memory outlives history, (to be near)

embodied thoughts will water the seeds.

to reveal what really matters

in a world where we only have each other.

If like flowers we unfold

and learn to reach, in time,

we’ll meet.

Then like an orange tree in bloom,

your hand in mine, in time,

will bear fruit.

If like flowers we unfold

and learn to reach, in time,

we’ll meet.

Then like an orange tree in bloom,

your hand in mine, in time,

will bear fruit.

If like flowers we unfold

and learn to reach, in time,

we’ll meet.

Then like an orange tree in bloom,

your hand in mine, in time,

will bear fruit.

ahhhh
