Falling free at a tremendous velocity
Cursing my decision for acting in haste
Through clouds and frozen rain I could not see the ground
Losing consciousness, in my mouth blood I could taste

Now this was indeed...

...Now human cloning is always borderline,
but it this case all agreed to it, fast,
a chance to disprove a major religion,

Perched upon a behemoth
A mountain, a companion to a lonely god
Perched is a man
Scanning the Mother
He eyes the ground

He made that world his captivating obsession
There skittered people of a...

I see, but I am blind
I hear, but I am deaf
I taste, but all is bland
I touch, but I do not feel
I smell, but the scent is elusive

Our senses conforming to the world
Influenced and molded...

She is always right and he is never wrong,
Neither willing to concede and the anger rolls right along.
Finding each others faults as they fuel this awful flame,
Both claiming victory when neither will accept the blame.

In support she takes his stand
She holds his fears
Inside her tears
When she cries for her man
Who inhabits a spiritual land.

She winces at his pain

He unwittingly hovers
       ...blankets of subjective weather
Plastering his artic tundra
Bandaging white clouds together
Blindly...

Refocused on our tantalization

Frosting earth's core

engulfing myself in the pleasure of this complete disbelief

Ross still rides his Harley, if the weather's good.
Can't get away much, like he used to.
Thursday morning breakfast with the airplane guys,
Talking farm prices;
what the dog's been doing.
He can't stay long; she can't be alone.

to many more then she adored
holding fast to who she loves
a supple and a gurgle she does make

she walks away as the morning breaks
healing dreams she once...

When you lean in so your voice will be heard
If a man’s in the crowd he won’t hear a word
His mind and his eyes will be focused elsewhere
To the buttons or...

He is eight and confused. He has been borrowing ideas all year.
He asked his classmate if he could copy off her.
She has always said yes until today.
Maybe four weeks of copying was enough?
Now he is...

The way you speak to me
Is the way I allow
But that is over now
The front is over
I’ve played that part out

The way you speak to me

Do you see that I’m getting off...

Bringing out energy into our souls
Shining brilliantly just like some hot coals
One day it breaks free, seeming to imply
Its power is refocused, with a sigh
Across the heavens the...
