Wanderer
I project iron, steel
Yet as I've grown older
I have become more like gold
Soft, malleable
Not yet familiar with my vulnerability
I seem to consistently find a way to let you wound
My door is always open
Perhaps I should lock it shut
Become a hermit for a time
Until you find a way to be more gentle

Journey

Sun to set, to herald the arrival of my moon
Prepare my vessel for an odyssey, golden mast and all
Best be on my way, best be soon...
Done this a hundred times come every nightfall

This night, I wish it different, wish it otherwise
My head isn't where it's supposed to be
Swimming in the clouds, in the star spangled sky
Speaking of plans to which the heart would agree

Time is now, it's time to finally drift away
Let go of all worldly trepidations
Hold all unfounded apprehensions at bay
Be brave to pursue fantastical notions

This journey ahead, I want to immortalise
Don't think I'd want to turn back
Leave behind the pillow stifled cries
With the moon as my guide across an ocean of black

"Close your eyes and just feel the drift
Know that the stars are protectively watching
Picture your moon; her hands bearing a gift
A gift you'd soon receive, after much longing"

"Feel the water, like a thousand hands propping you afloat
Passing you over to more hands that lay ahead
Lurching forward gently, this ethereal boat
Rest now upon your giant floating bed"


I took that leap of faith... I'm sailing
Cresting and bobbing towards my moon
I hear the stars for they are singing
Lulling me by with a celestial tune

On my way, now on this nighttime adventure
Don't think I'll ever look back
Together this night would span forever
Floating endlessly in a sea of black
Those who have love, be strong with your love
The ones we have left are the ones that have kept
Their hearts with their homes in their chests

Yes the world that we live in makes it clear from the start
From the moment you're born, hold on tight to your heart

For to love and be kind will not keep you alive
To be cruel is a tool many use to survive

My prayer, as we gaze into life's riddled maze
For Dear God, those of us left behind...

Here on earth, Divine Mother
Teach us how to uncover
To encourage and nurture each other

Oh Dear Love, with what worth help us pave and rebirth
What a new generation of thought will behold, without doubt

A Kindness shall rise, cruelty fall away
Goodness-
Find a home in the beds that we lay
