Inside me dwells the song and the soul....
the light that is hidden.....
the shadow is outside me...
in the shining moonlight....
for the mirror doesn't see all...
just that which is superficial....
shallow ...
one dimensional....
it keeps hidden the soul......
and it dims the light....
in the eyes of the beholder it is ugly.....
in the eyes of the enlightened.....
no diamond could shine as bright
As the words swirl within my presence...
weaving this tapestry of magic...
in them you could know my heart....
if you open your eyes at the right moment....
the pages of my soul will lie open for all to read....
In these bent and twisted lines....
the fabric is woven.....
and the story is easy to understand...
or not....
because all eyes see things differently....
sinner or saint.....
master or madman..
you know...
in the end...
they are all the same...
and yet....
that is the mystery of it all
And the keys that unlock these doors....
well they are hard to find...
and yet you search forever....
the human spirit so nomadic....
always striving to step from the shadows....
and when the light finally shines...
Is that all there is?....
A question so often asked...
and yet so hard to answer....
for some doors remain locked forever...
and others so easy to open...
and as they swing shut behind you....
you often realize....
that your greatest desire....
well it was just a trap....
a dead end..
and the maze...
its endless.....
the yearning timeless....
and the footprints you leave....
well they only go one way
And now the doors....
the ones I look for they are open....
and the roads within...
well they are long...
and I have walked them before...
and the doors slammed shut...
the light was all but hidden...
but I will always carry the spark that can ignite the flame...
that can burn the past from my memory...
so the future may rise from its ashes...
and the phoenix....
that shining renewal.....
that green of the forest scorched.....
soothed by the rain....
as the skies clear....
and only one rainbow appears...
and harmony...
balance....
reign forever
