Do we dare to tell
Our secrets to the uninitiated
Afraid to dance
We took a chance and it backfired
I know that sometimes
I can be impossible to tolerate
And if we congratulate ourselves
Too often, we will be mistaken
For unfaithful lovers
So please do not awaken us
No matter what time the clock says

Come connect with your friends
You hesitate to feed the bears
That live within your skin
I tremble and soften
Whenever you mention my name  
We are living prayers made to offer
We are food placed before the fire
Stolen from desire’s palace
Constantly making fools of our enemies
Observing life and all it's folly
Ever flowing into an enchanted river
Give the world it's heavy fate
While we try to remain the least bit tasteful

The bottoms of our feet
Are the soles of tomorrow
We repeat these stories endlessly
We are here spinning our wheels
Trying to understand the streets
And how they were formed in symmetric images
We are immersed in villages of hunger
Empty of sound and fury
Lines before the jury
We are useless without our wings
So we bring kindness to your springs
And drink clean water
From the hands of your daughters
Gone before the dawn
We held on without scorn
And stole laughter from the mouth of a tornado
With ****** dripping from your lips
And ink on your fingertips
Holding iron in your palms
It appears we need to hail our faith
Now more than ever

You are the color of laughter
And a part of all that I can see
You surround the earth with feelings
And make it worth our similes
We are all individual particles of your desire
The higher we rise the more we realize
Your embodiment is necessary
I am incarnating my heart
One spark at a time
Finding the irreconcilable differences
Between science and art
We are poetic licenses masterfully exercised
I supply my own meaning to the tendencies I find

In the tender corners of the mind
You are happy to reside
In living colors and blooming flowers
Nature showers in the morning and the night
In every flavor of the mouth
Even in the hours when I doubt you
And run around you like a mountain
Pounding on the earth for you to let me in

After the wind has finished
with her mischief, and night
black as a Crow caws the dawn
and as the ocean's cold hands
fold and unfold, tomorrow
will surely bring some sorrow
only time will tell, while I while
away the long hours listening
to the tapping on my windows
wishing again, just once again
that it was you and not the rain.
