there are things I wish that I could tell you
but they are mysteries to even me
I've been known to draw lines in the sand
that mean nothing to anyone but me
there are spectors waiting in the dark
night ghasts with no mercy in their hearts
I close my eyes but visions will not cease
my minds infested with vague memories
all I've ever had are words
you can't take them away
help me find the right ones
to express the things I need to say
hypnotize me if that's what it takes
take away the fear so I can speak
I have stories locked away inside
truth is all I need now to be free
music it can help to heal the pain
but lately it just feels like there's too much
compelled to do the things that stop my brain
from thinking about anything at all
all I've ever had are words
you can't take them away
help me find the right ones
to express the things I need to say
my wand is a tree branch
I'm casting spells again
creating sigils out of
my lines drawn in the sand

Profound Simplicity
profound simplicity
fragile reality
cumulus clouds I see
drifting on summer breezes
I know the grass is green
I know the trees are free
to reach up toward the sky
while digging their roots deep
the things that I don't know
could fill a billion poems
the things I'll never be
a vast and endless sea
we celebrate the night
that's when the bats can fly
and no one judges them
darkness is their disguise
black skies and shooting stars
finding out who we are
fire light and company
profound simplicity
kettle and pot agree
they're not as dark as me
when worry dominates
and I procrastinate
I want to clear the air
I want to travel where
no human being would be
so that I can be free
my mind is wandering
so busy pondering
the challenge of our time
in which myself I find
sometimes I wonder if
any one's ever known me
I question everything
that they have ever shown me
trouble around the curve
we're building up the nerve
to focus on our breath
and not linger in death
black skies and shooting stars
finding out who we are
fire light and company
profound simplicity
fragile reality
cumulus clouds I see
drifting on summer breezes
I know the grass is green
I know the trees are free
to reach up toward the sky

the things I'll never be
a vast and endless sea
we celebrate the night
