I dreamt I awoke...in Woking...in England "Woking", I thought, "you gotta be joking! What was I doing, doin' here in Woking" I felt like Dr. Who stepping out of the TARDIS And all the people there they were all looking, they were all staring at me It was like the whole world was gaping As if...as if there was something to see I wondered 'Had my mask fallen and was what they were now seeing, was it something appalling Could they see the real me ?' So I started running...runnin' 'cos I thought they were all gunning Gunnin' out to get me And I met this policeman, this burly constable And I said to him "I didn't want to awaken in Woking at all I just wanted to get back home" He replied "The last train out of Woking had just gone" So I ran on And it started raining... raining and I was soaking... soakin' Soakin' in Woking Then I met this sweet little London gal She said "Cor Blimey where you goin'" I told her I didn't know... I told her "Here in Woking I felt like I was choking, that all the walls they were closing in" I said I'd just been dreaming...dreamin' But what was the meaning... the meaning And why had they put me here in Woking What... what was the reason ?" "Have you been drinking Love?" she said "No!" I replied indignantly, "I haven't been drinking, I was just sleeping...sleepin' But hadn't expected to awaken, to awaken here in Woking I opened up to her a bit then,  I said "Though I was getting older I was... I was always still hoping But then suddenly I woke up and found myself here, here in Woking What was it all about ?" "You poor darling " she said (For a moment Woking didn't seem so bad after all) Then she reached into her purse and brought forth some coppers and offered them to me I said "No! No! You don't understand... you don't understand... I awakened from Woking a little after the morning had broken Still in one piece and still with all my secrets  intact But sadly Without any meaning nor any reason.

At times like these step back Ease into it with mind relaxed We can only persist Try to see your former self Contest the things we could have done Externalise internal thoughts To talk alone Old or young Discuss the paths which were pursued You and me are one and yet we've had so much fun Today's the day as yesterday Is gone

Search and ye will perceive that you have been pursued Pursued and perhaps persuaded Then prevailed upon through and through Prevailed within a purpose a purpose of the truth The truth of a proclamation Proclaiming the promise of pure and perfect Love for You.   -R. (05) -TX
