And There You Go Away Again
And there you go away again
Onto a place, which only you've been
Where when questions are asked
You're always related back
Answers free of any dividends
And behind a thin white curtain
Which contours the shape of a person
You will touch the most impressionable skin
Of a woman, now trading
Her once bequeathed unwavering stance
For a string of rhythm based movements
Known as dance
The poses she had, most often dreamt about
Were now emotions, she was able to act out
And a silent form, of a lady now released
Coasted through the grounds
Slow and tenuously
And there you go away again
On to a place, where realists lose their minds
And dreamers react to criticism
Never losing their integrity to stay benign
And in the charring foliage of a burning bush
You will gaze upon it's insurgence
From the flame, embers smoldering
From feathers tip to feathers tip
And so wonder envelopes your eyes
Incubated by the hottest fires
You'll succumb to unquenchable thirst
When gawking at a phoenix be birthed
And it shall stretch its wings
And trickle molten lava from its beaks
As it, in a surge
Promptly unleashes it's talons
From the soil beneath
And pay no attention, towards the bird's
Disempowering heat
You're skin would not be scolded
For here any bird is at a disadvantage
By your reach, for in this place
Of which you and only you have been
You can touch the entirety of all that ever is
