born_again Dafremen r.dafremen An angel came Protecting me against myself Sat on the inside of the melee Calling halt to all my inner ruckus Were it just a subtle taste Of rain there on the autumn leaves? Could I have imagined any visions Lovely as were these In all my wildest dreams? Could have my shame been any nearer To the heart flush upon cheek, The mark of my necessity? The sign that I at last had come through fire Lost my soul and captured passing insignificance Reflections of what pass for knowing Nothing Sand upon the breakers Blows past all we'll never know For being blind to the illusionary So far from the song of summer So far from the end of winter's bitter edge Left to wonder if our plight is almost laughable Capable of so much more than this And yet we piss it all away for apathy And now the autumn curtain falls upon the ebb An amazing time to be alive that comes instead As the golden leaves give way To less welcome scenery And the fear that fills the heart Gives life to the survival of the soul And as its grip takes hold In the end, you one way or another Let go and you are free Then you are born again You can begin again Then at last you're ready For what the future brings At last prepared to share that future day's ambition. 030925 what's it to you? who go blather from
