One Way
The sun is lost to stardust
Troubled mind at play
Early morning dark hours
Make it a long, long day
Thoughts play on a seesaw
Swings on oiled chains
Merry-go-round is coming up
Heads goes round the game
Precious sleep evades me
Monkey mind the way
I seek for understanding
Words from another day
The hint of things amiss now
And all is not the same
No words that pierce the darkness
Feelings guide the train
Don’t want to be a fool here
I’ve done that one before
I see the den door open
A rug lays on the floor
I’m going to lie down now
To find a mind of peace
Put to rest these feelings
I walk a one way street.
