Nameless Face

( the melody http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Qxyunl5Zus )

All it takes is but a single breath
just one form once sought enlivens thus,
a new start....

As the thoughts assemble in the mind
dreaming forth incredulous we find
what sought most.

*
but,
*

Klatskanie's a tragic choice to search for ones convictions inside of love
cold within an atrophy which wrought all these illusions bare-----------

now-taste the salt, rise up from sea and drift as wind...
as the wind....

winter comes as the sun angles change
drifting down to a more southern range
listen close...

once begot, assembled deep intrigue
but once heard the voice: a fate defined,
as a ghost...

travel to a land to crush your feelings that fall and stray
holding on to memories that lock the heart in chains

like the dust our state is frail our lives fragile

hold within, powers of potency......

Amazing thoughts weave through your verse Billy; how true is that second to last line, it pulls all you have said into the great thoughts you say here. Lizabeth

It's so rough and incomplete.... Ugh thank you though. Worked on this for a year and couldn't ever get it right....
