We can no more deny this reality
Than to shout down the stars from their heavenly posts
As they look from above and concede,
Yet, here we are for all to see
Continuing to fumble with such eloquent words,
We're not fooling anyone, of this I am certain
With this talk of anything, but...

Our plans for the future and how we get busy
We keep running away from the truth,
But why?
Is it simply that, or maybe just
In all of our grandeur and get focused schemes,
Why do we keep running from us?
If we look deep inside to ponder this path,
Well aware there's some pain that somewhat remains,
The truth is, we're more than just a little bit scared ...

Tell me, how long can we keep looking
At anything other than what is,
Genuine, though the container be flawed,
Cracks in the ceiling, frogs in the dark
Desire still radiant, still patiently waiting
Burning for that mid-summer's release...

I have loved you forever, don't you see?
Stand I at the door and peek in,
Just one more time, I need to feel your touch
Feel you all through my parched and aching soul,
Now there, I've said it,
Watch those thunderbolts soar!
I can only get so close and no further,
If it takes all of time to stand next to your fire
I will be here, this side of forever ...
