Field Song

By Dakota Dexter

I want to lay in a field

And let the wind sing to me

A melody that understands

That melts away the world

I would listen as the bugs and bees

Like soft staccato beats

Accent the intoxicating smell

Of the flowers that surround me

I could close my eyes and

Drift into a chorus outside of myself

One that would have me appreciate

The tingling of the grass

The clouds could paint a bridge

That I would not recognize

One that goes and pulls me through

And reminds me this won’t last

I’d hope the sky stays blue forever

But all songs come to an end

So when the rain fell, I’d stay right here

And taste it on my tongue

As a night outro begins

The stars would start to shine

I’d let a tear fall

And wait for the next song
