In My Wilderness

 "In My Wilderness"  by Janis Ian

Rain falls on the shadow lands
Washing all my plans away
Time flies, stretched across the sands
Slow mirages dance and play
Hidden in a corner of my mind
There's a place where nothing's left behind

In my wilderness
In my wilderness
In my wilderness

Four walls cannot hold the dreams
Struggling in between these lines
Words fall, bursting at the seams
Splitting on the rocks and rhymes
Every day's another chance to fail
Honesty's the only thing for sale

In my wilderness
In my wilderness
In my wilderness

Time flies, shadows on the wall
Try and catch a falling star
How high can you rise at all
If you're scared to fall too far
I become a thief of time
Just to watch it all unwind

In my wilderness
In my wilderness
In my wilderness

The Dark Side of The Sun

 "Dark Side Of The Sun"

Things are different down here
People say they love you, then they disappear
I'm the king of all I dreamed of
But nobody seems to care
Things are different down here

When I sat at His right hand
Passing judgment on the world at His command
How He loved me, from above me
That's the thing I could not stand
When I sat at His right hand

It doesn't seem so far to fall
When you are up there, looking down
But from the ground you see eternity
And a distance so profound
There'll be no forgiveness now

A race that can't be run
A war that can't be won
A song that can't be sung
Just to feed my hunger

I don't need your love
I don't need your love to see what I've become
But look at me, now
I am free, now
Free to build my kingdom come
On the dark side of the sun

Things are different down here...

In the moment

 In the moment

Furry mouth

sticky eyes

I hear birds

fly from south

across the skyes

swallow, cuckoo

gulls, sparrow, crow

the exact type of bird

i really dont know

But right now, right here

in my bed, from my window

I hear

I listen

and listen

and I belong

to this micro moment of song
