When people implore me with their eyes But I don’t care who dies Because I have seen beyond the form And what happens when the body warm Soon turns cold and depart The spirit leaves by the heart And returns to join it’s immortal core They struggle to say I love you more In their attempts at suppression Some kind of drive at oppression Til I’m twenty nine and in confession As the priest says this will be your last aggression But I just can’t muster up the energy to say I’m saving it for another day Because everything is now And somehow In the forest of storm I found that which was never born And so can never leave this earth The something beyond the hurt And though they try to scratch and claw They are no match for the Great Thaw That is unfolding humanly On the planet and undoing me Well the “me” I thought I was It does not abide by laws But sits in it’s own sweet soul And tells the waves to roll and roll They will still meet the beach If this is what it is to teach Then call my words silent prose This is the less travelled road
