I woke today. The clouds were gray.
I looked inside and so was I.
Awash within the mists of life's confusion.
Lost in some unfinished dissolution.
Where other lives and other loves
tried hard to beat me to the ground.
No reason why. No great misunderstanding.
Only for the sake of their grandstanding.
Hidden here, I hope they miss the mark
as I try to get by with this broken heart.
I loved too well. I gave away
the energy of my mainstay.
I don't know that I'll ever get it back.
My mind has lost the means of keeping track.
While still, my soul is longing for
that opening of heaven's doors
where love becomes the light of all that is.
Surprising one with just a gentle kiss.
I look outside. The sky's still gray.
I look inside and so am I.
When love is lost
it always seems this way...
