Looking for the light
The endless search for something
That I can call the truth
A drifting boat
In need of a dock's support
And a place to call home
The alarm goes off
Like fire sirens in my dream
Just another day
Reflections withstand;
I'm saving fall, even though
The layers peel away
Is there an answer?
There's no motive for this crime
Just hope for the best
Strangest dream last night
I was hiding from Germans
Locked in the closet
Amazing concert
Alice Cooper a yard away
From me I'll never forget
Picadilly time
Down to where the green grass grows
And times are easy
Saturday will be fun
There's a Pink Floyd laser light show
And I will be there
To me, his mind is
A mystery; when will I
Ever solve it?
Floating in the sea
Just the gentle waves and me
Dreaming forever
Always in slow motion
Drowsiness overcomes me
Like the walking dead
Stinging pain flashes
Throughout my throbbing finger
I hate paper cuts
My mind is so blank
Why should I try to focus?
It wouldn't make sense
Poetry, stranger
Now, do you know poetry?
I think I might
Life can be absurd
Incongruity swallows
Us all, you know
Finally together
We have one another now
The future has hope
Life's a lucid dream
Awareness always creeping
But it's never seen
Yellow, orange, red
The leaves blending together
Just to fade to brown
Unbinding secrets
I do not deserve to know
I am more curious
Hear the guitar weep?
Notice the revolving world
With George and Ringo
Being invisible
Is my most special talent;
I don't even have to try
