To Be Somewhere..

Sometimes, the need to escape is greater than anything I feel...

I have my trained mind for that, years of forced introversion in bomb shelters...

So there...

To be somewhere…

 

To be where the dark red skies

Are only a mark of an ending restful day,

I’m clinging on to hope where, hope, there is none.

 

To weave thoughts as vigorous as eternal coniferous domains,

Hold my flame, hold my fire, hold within my calming desires;

I’m persevering ahead, a blaze at a time.

 

There’s only one way the current can go,

There’s the way the mountains cast shadows;

I’ll be none the wiser if I remain astray.

 

Down by the river bed,

The river bed is thirsty.

Floating right ahead,

My gasping compassion.

I’m not numb, I’m tremendously dazed…

 

To be where the earth is roaring,

Ready to spew out its bonfires of wisdom;

I’ll make sense of it; I’ll be gentle but I’ll resist,

 

Until I have no more reason to…

 

 

Earth, wind, fire and water

Hey, what's the hurry?

I've taken moments, many moments,

Yet it stil feels scary

They tell me I should make it, 

Love it, fake it, hone it, embrace it

And I just want to enjoy it...

Earth, wind, fire and water:

I'll forever be longing for this place

The calm fire shaping the earth, 

The calm fire feeding the water

And the wind relentlessly calming it down;

Where the woods are there to nurture, 

Where the trees hold eternal wisdom

And our ethereal lives feel important;

Where time stops whenever I want, 

Even if the birds and the streams tell me otherwise... 

One tear to add to the reservoirs, 

I was there and I was touched, 

Blessed, 

And I'll forever be greatful...
