Mind Garden
The garden seems much smaller
The grass, not so green
Inside, the walls close ever in
And harbour silent screams
I clutch at straw crumbling to grain
And feed it to myself again
This pain
This pain
This recurring pain
That I Inflict time & again
I grab for the stars
And the bright morning sun
But, the closer they come
The further I run
A raindrop against a raging flood
Settling upon the cold, lifeless mud
But, I know, you're a rainbow
In a far, distant land
And, there I must journey
With my heart in my hands
I only hope you can wait
For the stars to align
And, I'll find myself again
If you would give me the time.
