Growing Out

Thought I heard you call
Heard the phone ring
Now its not only my heart
You're messing
With
And I never even told you
How cold
I never wanted you to see
How cold
And so old
And so fragile
And bold
I am
I am a wavelength in your mind
I am a wingbeat in the sky
I am the heart
You burnt so long ago...
Yeah, can you feel me rise?
Can you feel me grow?
Can you see me standing on the cliff tops as the sun shines down on me
I don't want you to know about me
I don't want you to see what I see in me
And sometimes it's ugly but you've got to let it go...
Let it go again
This fish doesn't bite once
They're purple and they like to bite twice
Your frenzy is mad now let it dance
The tribe within your skin
It likes to dance
Now dance and sing with me...
Lets dig a grave
In sand
And lay in between the band
The living call the dead
And the dead
Well they call it life!
Now lets run a long way
Very long way
My feet are sore
But my legs don't tire
Now you
You're tired
You're falling back behind
Well didn't you think that
Maybe that's where you belong?
You'd be right
You don't belong up here with me
I am the sky and I am the sea
God bless you
Sailors with a virtue
And I will sail on...
Well here I go
It's a merry life for me
You people go
You don't belong up here with me
I love to run
I love to see...
I love to bury myself in the earth
With the rest of me.......

Mind Over Matter

If I in heart and I in mind. Go swiftly through the trees. And I in heart and I in mind. Let bracken snap and birds scree,. If I in heart and I in mind. Follow Sense's plea,.

One

I lay back staring at the sky. Hints of grey & blue in between thousands of clouds, all different shapes & sizes, all being taken along on the wind.

Something New

I wonder who I am,. And I know it,. I wonder what we are,. Then I know it,. I see a little spark,. Circling between us,. A tranquil arc,. That just sticks,. To rock us together,.

Read Me Like A Book

Do I look like a book. Can you read me like a book. Then why do you only look at my cover. Don't judge a book by its cover.

It’s About The Next Moment

In this grand house there are many rooms. I have slept in them all. Perhaps only for a single night. No matter how long I was in there I drew on the walls.

In a dark night brightly, Shone a girl walking slow, Her face radiant in moonlight, But her feet nowhere to go.

Just A Tiny Little Seashell.

A shell upon a shingle beach, Hiding, yet to be found, Use sandy grains to scour your dreams, Feet firmly on the ground, Reality's a fact of life, It's charred your innocence, The harshest words and...
