lion, tinman and scarecrow:
was I ever really with you?
did I really wear those shoes?
I wonder if you think of me
and where you landed
if you landed
when your own storms were
brewed-
could we ever do again
what we did then
believing in everything as it lay before
God in our pocket
on a golden road-
so close to the emerald door
