GETTING IN THE WAY
1
fog rolls & swirls
round us all
who look for light
& sometimes think we see
so boldly claim to own truth
but never know for sure
yet in us rests a bit of
stuff
that
touched by warmth
stirs
struck by light
wakes
licked by fire
ignites
2
shadows come,shadows go
night follows night
days mix more shade with a little light
sleep comes,sleep goes
death follows death
mind mixes death with a little life
moondark creeps,eats daysun
earthshade creeps,eats moonface
moonnight hides sunlight sight
earthnight hides bright moonlight
within dark grows point of light
within death grows point of life
babyhand grips fistful of life
fights off body of death
3
lost my way again
took a wrong turn again
tried t'get back
in the race
can't help feeling bad
or just getting mad
too many folk
on my case
want to make'em sad
want to treat'em bad
put my fist
in their face
it's fall again
& i fall again
not in love
but from grace
4
river flows
always changing
never same
now fast
now slow
sometimes high
sometimes low
over rock
round driftwood
rippling or calm
under tree or open sky
in sun or dark
it curves
goes straight
curves again
big fish eat little fish
little fish better be many
& fast
5
break not this bough of hope
that hangs o'er raging flood
that sweeps away firm shore
neath feet of throngs who cling
& washes them downstream
thru rock & ice blue water
frothing white & streaked with red
you divided & conquered us
scourged us,crucified us
drew us & quartered us
beheaded & burned us
turned our hearts to ashes
bled us tinder-dry
like a prairie in july
when it just takes a spark
to start a fire
another war lost
worn down,ground up
time to throw in the towel
& get ready to rebel tomorrow
