I will find you a way out
(He promised)
I will find another way
This cruel life is not what was promised
This cruel life is not where I plan to stay
Soul trapped in a body
Forgetting it’s purpose and its “why”
Spirit overtaken by a television screen
Forgetting how to fly
I lost it, somewhere
Between parking lots
Traffic lights
And
TV screens
That magic I used to see, unaided
.

I found the magic
Hidden
Underneath a rock
I found the pieces
The big bang had left
Scattered in my hair
And I knew then
I was as old as this universe
And as young as I liked to believe I was
.

The vines gave way
As if they were welcoming me
And the trees danced with glee
The vibrations of the ground synchronized with my own
And I knew then
I was finally home

He asked for forgiveness
For crimes he’s yet to commit
For the falling angels, and the apple they ate
I’ve been cursed since birth
Of knowing the truth
I see a smile and it makes me ache
For a moment, much too short
I discovered the truth that can’t be told
Then as I woke
It was all forgotten once more
The editing changed the meaning
Like Photoshop changed the girl
But this time no beauty was added
No
Not at all
And you lost the original
It’s on a napkin on a floor
In a bar that you hardly remember
From the night before
Take them…those treasures I hide
Leave me with thoughts hidden deep inside
Stranger Paths
