Mourning In the Morning

Written March 10, 2015 The sun is risen Its sultry shimmer shines on the ocean Keeping the moon at bay Whilst the sound washes off the shore You arise from your slumber As a reservoir of lakes flow from your eyes I've come here once more For mourning in the morning At this Buddhist temple in the sand For meditation in the midst of misting mountaintop waterfalls Watch them miraculously marvel right before your eyes Close your eyes now dear Forget the fleeting taste of fear You're home now Time to loosen your chains And wipe away those tears You've been crying all these years Hold your hopes to the window For all those outside to see They're fogging up the screen Of silver where dreams are weaned Off the teat of the trying and the dying 'Til we're sighing with the lying and flying off the tracks I've come here once more For mourning in the morning At this Buddhist temple in the sand For meditation in the midst of misting mountaintop waterfalls Watch them miraculously marvel right before your eyes
