Mouth of Flames |
The house drew a mouth of flames |
That could not wait to hold it and burn |
And I was inside, I saw it turn |
Bright cats clawing up the darkening walls |
Ruthless and hunting all of their flaws |
I was inside, I saw it all |
I took what I could from the deafening blaze |
But I could only take so much |
One thing goes while another thing stays |
Some too heavy, but none that you can reach |
The things that I lost I will always remember |
The things that I lost I will never forget |
The things that I lost left behind no remainder |
The things that I lost, and the things I’ll lose yet |
The open white beam of youth is gone |
The letters, the songs, and the stories are gone |
The misguided fears, and the illusions are gone |
And what I was saying |
Has lost its breath, and the air is gone |
The things that I took I hold close to my body |
The things that I took I hold close to my chest |
The things that I took cannot leave any longer |
The things that I took are the things I love best |
The silent focus of a deep driving prayer |
The rational roads with uneven scars |
The sweet silent joy of a deep woods commune |
I left the stars, but I took the moon |
I left the stars, but I took the moon |
I left the stars, but I took the moon |
