For Me
AS IF IN A DREAM
CURSED TO TRAVEL ALL ALONE
THESE WORDS I READ
FREE FALLING INTO A POEM
UNMOVING IN A TRANCE
STANDING RIGID AND STILL
TEXT IN MY HEAD DANCE
SO FOR ME IT IS REAL
OF MANY PLACES I WONDER
WRETCHED PATH ONLY FOR ME
FEEL THE SILENT THUNDER
BECAUSE MY SOUL DOES BLEED
RIGHT HERE SECURELY SETTLED
BUT WILL NEVER BE AT EASE
PAST OUTRAGES ARE NOW MELLOW
AS FOR NOW I AM PLEASED
