something a little different tonight....
9 Lives
"half your life"
words whispered to me from the grey as I walk my path
"half your life"
carnival voice pulling laughter from the air
"half your life"
from the phone, dropped into my ear
Yes, maybe so,
but only until
now.
Not stopping, ever forward,
quick as the sun rising in the desert.
If I have had two halves of a life already-
which life am I on now?
Full and rising moon
over deep blue mountains.
I am above, and going higher
lives stretched out before me
glowing blue white
on a glittering dark road
through the horizon
to the other side
and back to me
Why should cats have all the fun?

tears
in the wake of change
foam flecked waves wash over me
salt dries on my skin

safety net
wherever I go
tendrils of warm light follow
from my heart, to yours

sometimes I have no choice but
to try and get the words out
whether they make sense
or not
