I have an enquiry
A fair one entirely
I see the disparity
But I hope it makes it through
Is freedom an ocean wide
Or more like a place to hide?
and does the noise of your TV upset her?
The black night upon the sea
Is one that belongs to me
I traded serenity
For a less than stunning view
With faces as hard as stone
And anguish as bare as bone
Where deprivation gets learned to the letter
Trying to live in a dying world
Where the brave banner would unfurl
So impossibly
Measure me for the perfect fit
But don't you dare to contradict
My philosophy
There's always an effort spent
To listen to some lament
And maybe my tragedies
Have been more than were my due
Experience always pays
By how much the moment flays
Until you're sorry enough to know better
A positive connection
An unexpected smile
Offered free to a casualty
In most unassuming style
I've little cause to question
The salutary spin
But seize on what makes the most of my lot
And throw caution to the wind
Warm fuzzy phrases of Halcyon days as they fly
Shockingly soon to see cornflowers bloom in the rye
A pause in the discussion
I scramble for a line
She's already heard everything i could say
At least for the hundredth time
Knowingly swayed by the showy parade of the lost
Finding the line that the majorette, winding, once crossed
Rosy reflections upon the horizon amaze
Given to glimmer in new and exuberant ways
