The Moon Over Brunswick

The sky was grey and gold overlooking Crystal Spring Farms  

On the last day that I drove by  

We had a conversation over gelato  

Because you were tired and overworked 

Long hours in a field of berries  

Blue eyes faded by the heat of summer 

You’re a clock that doesn’t stop ticking  

You said that it’s in your blood 

That doesn’t mean it has to be fate  

I stayed in touch with Griffin not because he is your brother 

I care about him too 

You’re strong and steady like a Pioneer on the move 

I’ve thought of you every time I’ve touch my soundboard  

It took me a long time to come to terms  

I suppose that I’ll let you know  

That you’re an inspiration  

As to why I want to chase my dreams  

Someday, we will meet again  

Pleasant Hill  

where the sunsets always stay
