Re: Poems Of Any Length
the picutre's far too big to look at, kid,
your eyes wont open wide enough
and we are constantly surrounded
by this swirling stream of what is and what was
and we could all make predictions, but
the truth still isnt out
and if you want to see the future go stare into a cloud.
so keep trying to find your way out
of that maze of memories
it all sort of looks farmiliar
and then you get up close and then its defferent clearly
and each time you turn a corner you are right back where you were
and your only hope is that forgetting might make a door appear.
is it your fear of being buried
that makes you so afraid to speak?
and avalache of opinions
like the one that fell that i am now underneath
it was my voice that moved the first rock, and i would do it all again
so, i mean, ots cool if you keep quiet, but, i like singing.
(*an author once implied that its the ones with the sorest throats that have done the most singing.)
so I will be holding my note, and stomping and feeling so very lucky
and there is nothing i know, except this lifetime is just one moment
and wishing would just leave me empty.
and you can try to live in darkness
but you can never shake the light
no it will greet you every morning
and then make you more aware with its absense at night
when you are wrapped up in your blankets, baby,
that comfortable cacoon
but i have seen the day of your awakening, boy
and its coming soon.
so go ahead and lose yourself in liquer
and you can praise the clouded mind
but it isnt what you're thinking, no, its the corse of history,
your position in line
youre just a piece of the puzzle, so i think you had better find your place
just dont go blaming your knowlege on some fruit you ate.
cause there has been a great deal of discussion about the properties of man
animal or angel, you were carved from bone but your heart is just sand
and the wind is going to scatter it
and cover everything with love.
so if it makes you happy then keep kneeling, but now im standing up.
because this vail has been lifted
and my eyes are wet with clairity
i havent been a witness to such wonders
and i will search for them all across the country
but then ill be returning, love
to this town where i was born
and i understand if you must keep moving, friend, but im heading home.
im gunna follow my road, and let the sceanery sweeping by easily enter my body.
and i send you this message in code, under ground over mountains, through forests and deserts and cities:
O! all across electric wire, its a baited line
yeah this hook's in deep, boys, there is no more time
so you can struggle in the water, be too stubborn to DIE
or you can just let go and be lifted to the sky.
