The Other Side of Me |
When the zephyrs pulse the sails I feel the tiller in my fingers |
Feluccas dancing, flirting on the swollen Nile |
Slowly touch the distance, the meniscus of horizons |
A shimmering mirage across the desert sands |
I follow silken threads in coral caves in soft suspension |
Blades of torches scything through the stagnant gloom |
Life’s breath escapes like mercury, swarming to the ceiling |
Silver serpents tunnel shadows to another room |
I sensed someone there, I turned around, it wasn’t you |
I couldn’t recognise at first just who it was, it had been a while |
It seems crazy after all that has been said and done |
I took a vow that we would never walk alone |
But here I am, eye to eye, face to face |
With the other side of me |
Where the doorways tempt my intrigue with another key of sunlight |
I am not afraid |
I nurse a steady heartbeat, the currency of breathing |
Pays my way toward new openings, in a life I used to know before |
First person singular, me, myself, I |
First person singular, no tears left to cry |
I’m smiling deep inside, first person singular |
I wander through the archways of green and lush cathedrals |
Barefoot on soft needles on the forest floor |
Awake inside a daydream, sombre meditation |
I only hear the whisper of the falling leaves |
It seems crazy after all that has been said and done |
I took a vow that we would never walk alone |
So here I am, eye to eye, face to face |
With the other side of me |
I lay on table mountain, gazing down on endless ocean |
And I knew deep in my soul that I was not alone |
I was not alone |
Heightened by the freedom of this new realisation |
The sun rose to the heavens through this crack of dawn |
This crack of dawn |
I sensed someone there, I turned around, it wasn’t you |
I couldn’t recognise at first just who it was, it had been a while |
It seems crazy after all that has been said and done |
I took a vow that we would never walk alone |
So here I am, eye to eye, face to face |
With the other side of me |
The other side of me |
The other side of me |
On the other side of you |
