excessively
incessantly
dispense with all the pleasantry
issues flow from inner storms
and not environmental forms
so guard control room operations
protect with fierce negotiations
the center of your balance act
draft proposals based on fact
never let the inner child
foolishly be so beguiled
by the lure of something wild
terrorizing meek and mild
.
the wheel of life around you
is set in motion by the sound you
frame to make familiar speak
association mind critique
and all the universe of things
captured in the songs we sing
a spirit without verbs or nouns
a city with walls broken down
has no guard up in the tower
loses all its inner power
strength is found in deeper modes
than outer form and episodes
.
so let these words to you impart
protection for your charcoal heart
as embers sigh and snappy beats,
melodic energies released
and random breezes fan the flames
of voices blending without names
this song is written just for you
a silent prayer to hold you true
I couldn't help but carry through
too proud to say I needed you
but streaming in perception's haze
I disrobe my subtle ways
.
I've spoken way too much I fear
Though sullen currents kept you near
I heartachingly let you hear
The neediness considered dear
My darling and my gentle dove
The child inside I've come to love
Even bad boys have their thirst
Even blessed sons are cursed
I fell headlong in the dirt
While the horse did wink and flirt
Denegrating nature's child
How did we become defiled?
.
Is it placid happenstance?
Didn't helter skelter dance?
Weren't there lillies in the field?
Who took down the sacred shield?
Did the thieves tear down the walls?
Did the jackals roam the halls?
There is still a field of strength
though the stones erode at length
This song is my prayer for you
victim of the harsh untrue
while you breathe and after too
I will hold out hope for you
