I didn’t want to be an astronaut
i didn’t want to see my self from the sky
lying up there, wondering where’d you gone
i didn’t want chase you to the moon
to land upon her dark side
succumb to her ruses
hear your unsung songs to the muses
cause i knew, when i did…
I would lose my mind
it was a terrible time
trying to find
the missing notes to your song
it was right there
all along
locked away inside the cage
of a mad composers empty page
of hearing whispers through the cracks
of continental song realms
they was up then they was down
they was cold then they was warm
notes were swarming all around
a thousand sounds of longing
wrapped in your silence
first a beat heard
then a lightning word
hunting the keys to an endless verse
in the back room with my candles lit
trying to hear the sense of it
i was pining strings across the walls
kaleidoscopic visions recalling
the fragments of a psalm in pieces
the true key to your heart’s still secret
I played my crazy instrument
from weaving clues to the brink of wit
a detective chasing time and place
swear i was just a note away
from your sunset voice it broke my soul
into a rhapsody of pink
where i heard thunder underwater
felt the hunger of the beast
as the Faerie Queen released her wild
in rivers underground
sounding the warriors drum
that wakes the sleeping Magi
they whispered songs of wonder to the moon
hauntingly incanting through illusions
that i swore off
the bandages i tore off
my heart was bleeding open
thawed from frozen
holding the key
finally free
