honeysuckle - gregor mcmurray lyrics

dig your heels into the soil
and scatter what remains of me
sow me into the earth so
i can cast my roots
and make friends with the rot

tend to the shrubs
being a kind host to
the weak and wary that
choose to seek shelter
in our humble garden
the same as i did
many blossoms ago
pay attention to the way
the flowers wane
look upon them fondly
when they begin to feel
the breath of fall on their backs
for there will always be another spring

put your ear to their stalks
listen to the pulsе
weakly stumble into pocket
trying to cling on to thе last of
their breathing green
the hope of lasting lights
and midsummer contentment
now seeming to wheeze from their lungs

sit in between the th*rns for a while
let their pr*cks speak whispers into
your flesh and tell you how they
miss the way the dogwood used
to play with the evening sun
in between its fingers like a
burnished two*pence piece
flirting through the crooks
of every branch and occasionally
letting the spill of july
graze the cheeks of the rose bushes
remember that your love
will never be lost in this garden
only ever redirected
tenderness kept in circulation
by means of nourishment
and passing songs bosomed by
choirs of larks

when the low hum of spring feels ever*distant
and the plants begin to heave
i hope to remain as your winter honeysuckle
seeing you through every cough and splutter
keeping your wary senses full of sweetness
even in the bleakest of dusks
