Darkness pervades,
Conspiracy is it a truth?
Are lies more...

The past always returns to haunt us
Old debts demand to be paid
The very best hand
Of many a man
Stays un known 
And remains unplayed
Some men wish...

In Ouachita's tales, where pine needles sigh.
I trace the mountains' ancient, weathered crown.
Silvered river forgotten secrets float by
And fills my heart, a sonorous chamber now.

I am tired
I am so so tired
Just sit for a while

See no evil
Hear no evil
Speak no evil

Shut my eyes
Listen to emptiness
Don't speak

Shhhhhhhhhhh

I am tired

no postage stamps that make letters
travel back until the grave hasn't been dug...

Father looked 'round his house one day
Nothing unusual, beauty abundant
Mothers voice rang with laughter
Children's games, merry clatter

How beautiful this is, murmured to self
Chest to burst...

Unremitting responsibilities 
Aspirations tampered by reality
Relentless quest for more

Old age, sickness, infirmity
Dusty, unplayed

Bringing weight...
