In my ecstasy
let me live
upon my hard wood mattress
may my body rest
while i count the stars
that i may not see
i shall then
all those carpenters forgive.
on the seesaw of sorrow
let me play
while i slide down
the banister of life
as much of dismay
i shall forgive your blows
even if in so
i am sent to slay.
upon the trees of a desert land
where a thousand cactus can only grow
let me jump from tree to tree
as i dream of a green grass land
which seems to be from doom so free.
it is then
that i shall forgive this land of thee'
where a thousand errors are noted on me.
