I needed the sound of the music and the breeze that hit the trees I touched and the grass and the dancing and the soul I don't believe in to open up and let tomorrow in even when today is a century even when yesterday creaks open and grabs me holds me locked tight
every song on the radio some chance some synchronicity some ecstasy
I open my eyes underwater I am safe and supported I give a deep sigh of relief for the thousand loves I have lost in my dreams for the death that sees me in my reflection at the bottom of a glass
Weary, wanting women I have been one Soft I have been that, too.
And when a violet sunset comes through the trees tonight, I am still so very soft.
