Walk With Me
I'll walk for ever in the air,
So cloudy and misty,
Searching,
Searching for love's spotlight.
Floating for eternity,
On a feather bed of dreams,
Where the sheets are barriers
And the pillow my stumbling block.
Within so many trees,
A forest in my garden.
We'll walk together for ever,
In this Eden of today.
Apple trees surround us,
Each fruit picked like a new friend.
Eaten, swallowed, then we vomit.
For we love only our own taste.
Leaving each other suspended,
Like the apple so ripe, ready to fall.
Our goodbyes do not console,
As we long for the feather bed of truth.
As the things of man,
Surround our lives.
Thoughts filter through smoke ridden air.
You lie in your bed, I in mine, separate souls.
A dream passes in the back of our eyes,
Like a shadow follows a wanderer.
We try to hold it so tightly,
Like I grasp your hand and you grasp mine.
Street lamps light my silent walk,
As a crowd of youth laugh and joke.
A night out such fun, so happy.
I pass by and cry as I kick a stone,
And go home for my safety and dry my eyes.
The mist falls again and again.
Clouding my eyes to honesty.
The questions of life are open to me.
Yet the answers hide in corners,
And I'm strapped to this heart for ever.
For eternity.
