Analysis of When bewildered paths cross
Kelley Davies 1983 (Dallas)
The light shown through the trees
I walk alone, in a forest, made of men and many
I look to left only to see the stars brighten the sky
To the right, only trees
I wish there was a way you could see this with me
I want to write and spawn seedlings and become anew
And I want you here
