Cypress Whatever Comes Next
Cypress
Fortunes fading in the sun's light... freckles grown across my skin... status quo moves on to hindsight. I watch the carousel within. I trapse around so very forthright... I leap about from limb to limb. But life revolves around a turbine. I've got to turn and start again. Straight from my heart, I leave a whisper. Those once involved can't listen in. Speech soft from years of scrapes and blisters... for only you, I fought the wind. Still standing strong amongst the ethers, my pleas for help long gone within. I seek the seeker wearing sneakers-- the one who sees all that I am. - My shores erode under this violence. It's time to find my pad and pen. We've gone away to map these islands, so I may learn to love again. Don't fear my absence or my silence. When I am gone, I'm gone within. Throughout the dark night, I am auburn; lit by the light of burning sin. For only you, I seek the Cypress. The price to pay is on my chin. I'm restless only in your absence. For me to stay, I must go in. I seek to slay the driven dragon. Or pray he make some sense of this. We've got to learn to love the balance. I've got to make my dragons friends. - So if it seems I'm kind of quiet... if my response is short and grim, realize I'm fighting riots upon the upper, outter rim. And I'm seeking out the wisest of the wise amongst my men, to keep us all aware of freedom-- our right to stop and start again. And we can ride with eyes wide open; and we can glide upon the wind. The streets are ours to find our hopes in. We can make our dragons friends. I will meet you at the surface. I will greet you face to face. The ground beneath us both will open, and we will float up into space. |
