If I showed you would you see
What lies inside a colored dream
Would you wonder as I do
And wander into a broken seam
And ponder how the fat bee flew
Far and wide I’m hopeless
Blanketed in blue
A shallow stream with floating cars
A moment too late
A chance taken too soon
I wonder if you’d find that true

Sometimes when I am driving I pretend they are after me.
Anyone going the opposite direction is an innocent, oblivious passer-by; they can't know that I’m on the run. It would foil the plan. Those behind me are the enemy. They hope to quietly apprehend me before I reach the state line. I floor it going uphill. I turn the corner at the stop sign. For a moment I've lost them, out of view. I slow a bit, enjoying the few seconds of a victory drive. Then, suddenly, there! In my rear view mirror there's another one! I reach over and turn up the radio, just a notch, and smile. I am Bonnie minus Clyde.
And they are never going to catch me.

It almost made me lonely yesterday
When you didn't call
It almost broke my heart today
When I found out you were kissing her

And I almost broke down
And I almost cried
And I almost thought it was

But then I realized
I was only
Almost in love

It is possible
I think
To mistake
Emotion
For
Devotion
When love
Is so free

The cry of the wounded
Brings me to tears
When my heart yearns
To howl with the wolves
Why must one suffer
For another's elation?

Puzzle pieces he used to fit
A lock and key that once were
As perfect for him as he for them

In the growing parts of her soul
She knows they’re no longer
All the things they used to be

Nothing left but days of old
Some days are peace and so past
Are those once pleasant circumstances

In each of their deepening hearts
There are mounting thoughts in the soul
Hoping and embracing the change
                                                        of tune

Sun flickering through the trees as cars go by

The way the light graces the ground just before it fades

I can't place it but its not quite what I used to believe

Glimmering gold leaves and the feel of an autumn breeze

Leave me more breathless than I ever thought I could be

Fracture and fragments shatter the fading eve

Somewhere I'm growing green and wider than free

For a second or two before the darkness dawns

I feel the ember of the day and the spark of something new
