What you are
In your Heart

Can not
Be defined

Do not even try

Definitions
Build a cage
You see

Would you cage infinity?

Feet up  Flying low
Between the sky and the earth
The speed is the rush

What is it I'm missing
What fits in this hole
The pieces you gave me don't fit
They're all looking silly
Here in my hands
They're all just a pile of…

Stuff that won't work.

Must I look in a closet
Or under the floor
Has something eluded
And slipped through the door
I hold what's been given
But need something more
I don't want a checklist
I won't keep a score
It's just that I'm waiting…
Frustrated…
And sore

And tired when pieces don't fit.

Your promise was worthless
'Twas just empty talking
Don't want no excuses
No dark raven squawking

Why do you repeat all these lies?

You want to believe them so much
That you think I should still be
Contented with such.

But my eyes

See the story

Listen to the sound
Below the earth
As she cries
In the morning giving birth

Still
The sky above…

Rains tears of joy
And love

I be a book that you
Write in

The same way I writing
In you

Writing each other's
Stories

As we go through this life
In this world

As the story be read in
A mirror

Which eyes be seeing
The page

And so I be left with
The question

Is this really my story
Or yours?

This house I've built
Remains

A mystery
To me

Tho' I've handled each plank
And fashioned each beam
With my own hands
According to plans
I did not understand

So many rooms
As I wander these halls
In search of a door

Beyond the mist waits the dark forest
The unknown there lying in wait

And every step takes me further away
From the places that I have made

And every step now takes me closer
To the places that I fear and dread

And before me is flowing a river
Swift and yet quiet as death

Yet what lies beyond that cold river
Is the thing that I'm longing to see

And what lies beyond that dark river
Is the thing that I'm destined to be

You have chosen a different path
And I cannot follow
Though I would
As I stand behind
And watch you walk away

Did I look aside
And loose the way
The path now overgrown with thorns
I can not find my way

The light
Is leaving
It seems to follow you
And I cannot follow

You do not look back
