Wildflower

I rose up gently like a swallow in the night

It’s wings heavy in full flight

Moving ‘cross the great divide

I bet my money on the oldest horse to win

On his last legs he come in

By the hair upon his chin

The loser took the silver pin

And it’s all or nothing lately

Fruit grown on the vine

Takes its own sweet time

All or nothing lately

Raised up from the seed

Wildflower among the weeds

Take a chance on me

I’m moving gingerly between daylight and the dream

Trying hard to keep it clean

Light rays cast a golden beam

In all reality we get no guarantees

Lose the ground beneath our feet

Treading water out to sea

Depths below we may not ever reach

And it’s all or nothing lately

Fruit grown on the vine

Takes its own sweet time

All or nothing lately

Raised up from the seed

Wildflower among the weeds

Take a chance on me

I rose up gently like a swallow in the night

Its wings heavy in full flight

Moving ‘cross the great divide
