Provide the truth so that I may know
Which side the winds choose to blow
I wandered aimless with
steadfast contemp
I borrowed the book that
you said you lent
oh yeah . . .

Well the whale went dry
after flood
You said I was full
of cold bad blood
You opened the door
saying I'm rotten
don't come back
here anymore
oh , oh yeah . . .

Well the sun will shine
after the rain comes down
Even though you have to walk around
on the muddy ground
You put your faith in the hands that bind
Like a stumbling fool you were  completly blind
oh yeah . . .

Well the whales will leap coming crashing down
I waited around as they lowered you down
I thought sure the storms would finally come
Nothing but the tears were left after it was all said and done
oh , oh yeah

Well the whales will leap
coming crashing down
I shed a tear while they put you in the ground
oh yeah . . .

Sometimes I dive in the ocean I'm unable to swim,
Too deep and three hundred and sixty degree freezing,
A trauma on its own right?

Well, I drown while wearing my smiling face,
with no one to pull me up,
but a pen and a piece of a paper.

I fell in love
And out of love with you
When truthfulness expired between us.

I didn't want you,
I wanted love
and I have realised
that they are not the same thing.

You were a mould
that I poured my insecurities in,
a computer I tried to program.

But you are a sky,
stormy and clear and rainy and warm.

You were so blue when I longed for red.

I didn't want you.
I wanted the thought.

I love you now
I loved you then
If you were here I'd say it again

I step up to the edge, the breeze blowing my hair.
I close my eyes and I can see it.
My feet leave the ground as my wings catch the wind.
I’m flying.
But, when I open my eyes, I’m not soaring
and my feet are still on solid ground.
What if I fall?
I can’t risk it, that pain.
I look around and see others fearlessly facing the plunge,
but I remain frozen in place.
Scared.
All I can think is, “What if I fall? What if I fall?”
It’s then, in the midst of my frantic thoughts,
That I hear a still, small voice say,
“Yes, but what if you fly?”
I gaze the wheat field
gusts of wind erupt and impede to the very end
crows take flight towards the blood red Sun
he calls them back
rests his weary hands and tired eyes
before the long walk into town
his silhouette fades as I awaken
to view the captured image that hangs
from my wall
the perfect lucid dream

Should this story be told,

tell it with the quickening of breaths,
skipping of heartbeats
and butterflies in stomachs;

And not be bogged down
by the heft of weighted sighs.

We are but moments in time,
Atoms smashed together.
Formed into transient alliance,
Only to part then reform
Into an endless cycle of renewal.

We survive
Creating memories as we go.
Briefly touching and connecting
With others.

In cognizance of this
All meetings have meaning.

As we smash our way through life,
It’s imperative we connect
And make some sparks

Before we fade away...
Slide into the dark.
