Betwixt Pickin' & Weedin'(all summer)

in my mind
struggle & strife
I ain't about to quit
this is my life
debt & dought
this is my life
I know what life's about
thrive & do well
I plant fertile seeds
my love begins to grow
my mind is fertile soil
here on earth I toil
laboring at my task
nobody has to guess
nobody has to ask
at what I have been blessed
the grace of daydreams
these daytime emotions
among the sunlight
fades the colors of everything
a long row to the end I sow
shuck in the fall
plant in the spring
again the sunlight
fades the colors of everything
bring out into the light of day
rules of verse light the way
assurance & protection
in the original spoken word
unpretentious & bright
like in my own way
listen to me say
I'm pickin' & weedin'
out my mind
how does your garden grow?
and your love
does it fade the colors of everything?
I rarely sing
it's just a temporary flash
golden sunbeams
catch a sparkle
as it fades
as it fades
as it fades
everything
