Esquina

Feeling the phases, I fill all the spaces with song. Standing alone in the doorway

I have simply been there all along. Dancing the footsteps alight with the joy of the Light

Unafraid in the dark desperate days in the taming of Man. Unmeasured Justice at the

heart of a centralized plan. Enlisted to millions I blend in crowds when I can. Waiting

in wonder for the brutality of reason to cease. Finding the facts that point to the value

of breaking the lease. Along for the ride, set aside my life before the spark of rebirth

Traversing the highways, each pebble in my pocket, searching for what life is worth.

Clutching them tightly I can feel I as they scratch, pinch and bite

the pain of their imprint counseling me not to hold it so deeply inside.

Open wide for the morning when the thoughts of all mystery rush to

meet the matters of mind. Alone in my pondering, still wondering the

wandering to which I’m inclined. Caught without asking for solace within the problems

to solve. I seek out the Master and ask for the hope to revolve. In faith without reason

I look for the answers delight, by the clouds of perspective beholding the pure

and the right. The voices of reason chant the song of the season in rhyme.

I look for the memory but the only season I can remember is Thyme. When time can’t

remember and none can forget that’s sublime. For no one is charged without ever

having committed the crime. I dance to remember and sing to forget all that’s gone.

Becoming a player when I’ve grown so tired of being a pawn. The last time I saw

you the dream was so clear in your face. Becoming an astronaut you were certain of

going to space. The lead is diminished cut in half but the bustling hoard. My chips are all

scatted and my cards are all over the board. He whispers it’s over return to your place

by my side. I tried to make the distance but the jump was too far and wide. I hide in the

silence the answers beyond my demand. The meaning within questions too obtuse

for a simple man to understand. I’m found in the forest with all in my wallet still dry.

When I smile at nothing and laugh when they ask me why. See there’s air in the desert

but the sun leaves you wishing for sleep. Nothing but shadows and wind with its

secrets to keep. Tell them all I’ll be tardy to play the first song without me in line.

I’ll be out on the corner raising money by holding a sign. Saying prayer for the Governor

for he hasn’t a clue we’re just fine. I was loving my neighbor until he abruptly drank all the

wine. We haven’t an offering, though He told me our hearts would do just fine.
