John - Saint Saviour

John,

Came with the sun

Tiny round eyes

Raisins in a currant bun

Johnny from

The Patti Smith song

I kept you inside

What a wild ride you’ve been on

Before the days begun

Ah

I’ve had a Long wait to contemplate it and

Now I see some things here you won’t need

John, let your heart lead don’t be afraid to follow it,

Never go gently

The physical awaits you now

Faces in the photographs,

Everybody’s here,

In circles to keep you near,

Hazel to help us heal

Needle and yarn, every one

Room with a skylight

A canvas kept white

And hung so high

Winter fell without a bite

I’m gonna try to broker a deal

And climb down from the idea

To keep you small

Keep you here

Put your shoes on, John
