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
