Re-Alignment

When I tried, I’d grab your hand Pull you close and hurt you inside When I lived, I’d bring you down There’s nothing left to live for this time Funny faces, painful places Tempting lies and metaphoric races Spiteful smiles, selfish trials Losing friends within my denial When I gave, I’d take the land Sell it off and then demand If you give, I’ll share the wealth But now I’m done and I see sand Trading thoughts, selling pain Despising trust unless I gain Unheard sounds, silent voices Expressing nothing and no more choices I got lost in fear but now I’m fine I fell so far and lost all time Landed on my feet and heard a rhyme I heard my breath and took in this sign Waking, feinting, coloured paintings Shivering and understating Take my mind, take my soul Circulate it all as I’m creating Words that breathe, words that show Wisdom as my eyesight grows I’ve seen the fall, I’ve felt the breeze Swam through space and shadowed trees Another death and I’ll be fine My soul has finally aligned Though my body still a cage in time My spirit travels and I find I got lost in fear but now I’m fine I fell so far and lost all time Landed on my feet and heard a rhyme I heard my breath and took in this sign The world is round and so I spin I’ll close my eyes and I’ll begin
