The thread unwinds
And are we all just out of our minds
Running blind 
Into the wind
And the boy grinned
At me like it was all okay
And somehow it was with him that day
Will I find my way back to see
The moment of eternity
That held itself out in his eyes
Deep blue opals that disguise
The soul that’s looking through
I would love to be with you
In any kind of way
No broken heart to mend today 
Just ashen earth clay pots
And calling the kettle what I’m not 
In the morning 
The sea was storming 
Until that deathly calm
It should have rang some kind of alarm
But it didn’t, I just gazed
Into a man I would have saved
If I had known how 
Now I just allow
You to breach the barrier 
And I know you wear the weather with her
I can see it through the grain
As it’s all coming down as rain 
In a January morning 
In the winter of 2013
And the dream 
Is less like shattered glass
And more like Gandalf and “You Shall Not Pass” 
But the goblins from the grave
Seem to haunt all of my days
In so many ways 
As I look into the sky
And wonder when you too will die
