Out of the Woods

There’s strength in numbers

And wisdom in colleagues

The whispering winds that blow around all day suddenly settle down

Long enough for you blow some hot air around

The hovering sun seeks you out but you find some cooler shadows for a moment

You sit and settle down and breathe instead of sigh

The city skyscape just outside

It’s familiar but you’ve never seen it in this way before

The colors are brighter and the streets are more inviting

The passing faces are more friendly and more comforting

Everybody is an opportunity

Every street another way to get there

It doesn’t matter if you get lost ‘cause you get lost every journey you take

But you always get there

Sometimes more sweaty sometimes more out of breath

But oh the sights

Oh the sounds

Your friends stand around and seek you out and remind you

For a moment you’re reminded

Teased and tormented you realize is just time ticking and people having fun

One life and to spread a little joy is kinda cool

Remember this as you go

Remember these times

Remember coming out of the woods

Feeling good

Dance for the moment and drive downhill and don’t look back

Spread some love and some joy

Daylight still feels great

And the city night lights still warm your soul

Still settling in to this sort of place

So go on and keep at a steady pace
