The toughest part of letting go
Was not what you expected
Tried so hard to understand
Wound up so dejected
From right to left - what’s left?
Hate to say you’re done for
Stood upon the shoulders of thieves
Hungry ghosts in disguise
Woke up in someone else’s dream
Another poet for the moody sky
Hate to say you’re done for
Who’s to say you’re done for?
In the cave we learn to see
The bottom falls out we learn to be
The bottom falls out
Tune out the noise tune in the sound
Angel voices in the way that you found
In the way that you found
Tell them - you can come at me with all your judgments
You can come at me with all your ignorance
You can come at me with all your fears
I am here
I am here

deep below the waves
feeling through dark and space
tripping into holes
scarring up a soul
deep below the waves
an accidental peace
fell into the right hands
the softest landing place
now I’m saved
falling through her light
falling into her constant light
from the depths of a broken life
into a light
her constant light
unimagined bliss
in the blue hour of love
natural, dangerous
the sky so buzzed with stars
candles kiss the dark
darkness feels into light
darkness feels into light
my darkness feels into her light
her constant light

after the breakdown
a healing has begun
after the breakdown
a healing has begun
dismissed as melancholic
now they bask in the warmth of your Sun
it seems to be
the healing and the dream
found inside
the echoes of your scream
horses in the field
a model on your bed
a life that’s free and clear
from all the ghosts and the dead
it seems to be
the healing and the dream
found inside
the echoes of your inner nature
borne on canvas
blue black rain
on a virgin planet
falling down
a soul rattling
intoxicated
in need of nurturing
it seems to be
a healing has begun
and you’re moving on
move on

dropped into the middle of a neon reign
Wipe away the years from my eyes
I recall all the games that we have played
We watched them fall away
I put down the weaponous words
I still cling to the shadow seeds
You’re so polite you just smile
And move into the bright lights
I’m just beginning to see
Don’t need a reason for everything we feel
No map in hand
You seem to understand some things maybe I never have
Can you take my hand?
You seem to understand some things I never have
Like how to be
Like how to just be

did I lose my way?
I don’t know - who are you to say?
it’s a beautiful life
behind the mountain with no rain
though the rain never came
a beautiful life
the open truth
your home is where your heart draws you to
what one calls desolation
can quench another soul’s aspiration
we all must learn how to burn
a beautiful life
with riches right below your feet
and clarity in the sky
a beautiful life
did I lose my way?
I don’t know
who are you to say?
what is it you chase?
what do you wish to taste?
what’s in front of your face?
a beautiful life
