On healing...

Time may be your only solution
If there was another way -
A place to go, a pill to take
You wouldn't take it to heart
You wouldn't come back at all
You'd just self-prescribe
Until the end of days and the end of time
And you wouldn't be healed
Your broken parts revealed
In such strange ways on such strange days
On a long long road, made longer still
"Escape" is just "Pause and Deny"
A backwards walking, poorly portrayed allegory
For your joyful story
Lost and still waiting
A scramble to dress the wound
Overflowing with the fluid
To keep the flyer flying
To keep the pacer pacing
To keep this boat afloat when it's the ocean that's sinking
Aren't you thinking it's time to go?
Listen to the voice that says, "Let 'em go"
It's their turn, let 'em win
Let them roll and turn and twist and spin
And push and pull and have their day
Say their name
It's their day, it's their day
Fine, fine, let it be
Let it be that way
and rest
Another one is coming
But this day is done
As sure as the sun
and just like your breathing
Your life is coming as sure as it's leaving
Your love is flying as much as it's fleeting
All these comings and goings will surely be showing
Just learn to see this passing and pleading
As a need that is needing
A feed that is feeding
A sleep that is sleeping
Till all is quiet
Stillness
Clear
Time
Thought
No Thought
…

...
And you find yourself finding
A light lowly glowing
Remember your dreaming and let it have meaning
Breathe and be slow
You're back in your place
You must face your new face
So rise to your feet
and let your head catch up too
The morning can still feel
a little black and blue
But the light draws you in
And says "I have returned"
Get yourself up and let yourself into the day
Time has come again
To bail you out of the wages of sin
Live, I say live
Start the new revolution
Time may be your only solution
