Penelope's Eyes

© 2013 Mark Cote

Blue bunny dreams
are as real as they seem
they come without warning or thought

and under the thunder
she'll sit and she'll wonder
how strawberries taste in the rain

looking around
absorbing the sounds
as night time wakes up to the day

while some see the light
as shining too bright
and the dark is too hard on their eyes

Penelope wanders along

(chorus)    life is so simple
                  Penelope's eyes
                  each waking day
                  another surprise
                  look at the wonder
                  Penelope's eyes
                  just like a child
                  you realize
                  there's more to life
                  in Penelope's eyes

the shapes of the clouds
form animal mounds
she casually lays in the grass

flower-filled air
surrounds everywhere
the hour hand rolls on too fast

(chorus)

what can it be
what is it that she sees?

(chorus)
