I Used To Be

I used to think as deep river flows Silence kisses its face I used to know as sensor does Never place its voice As my soul entangled with questions The day we die, Will the day we live? I used to make myself deaf Never hear them open the side I used to make my mouth mute Never a maker of words For I know they won’t understand Won’t listen to explicit mind I don’t dream be like legend Names been adored by followers Like Poe’s lovely proud evening star Known by my heart Loop with amusement Set by his golden heart. I used to think I will play my own Never will fail what the road lead I used to play my soul Never listen to lawless views But by moment I learn I been doing the part I say I’m making myself one of them
