I Wish That I Was Missing You Again

Sunday morning Carolina
Daybreak dawning in my mind, now
Monday coming, introspection
Split me off in two directions
And I can't drive
As fast as I want to drive

Tuesday's work is sacrificing
There's no cake but there's blood icing
And Wednesday's child is over-gifted
Though the wind of his word must be sifted
How do I survive
Interrupted versus thriving?

Thursday falls like a silken hammer
You see it coming then you see it vanish
Friday floats in like a life raft
Full of friends that seem like rough drafts
Of ones that you've known
Surrounded, all alone

I had to see it in you perfected presence
While mining the dreams of dejected peasants
I wish that I was missing you again
I wish that I was missing you again

Trace the footprints of your heroes
It looks like a countdown back from zero
From the Men of Renown of Atlantis
To politicians don't know where their pants is
And I can't drive
On the roads that I want to drive

From their tiny, shellacked tracked words
I just want to make my own way backwards
Into Future's touch
Where matter don't matter so much

Driving the camel through the gates of your perspected presence
Dreaming the dreams of your perfected measurements
I wish that I was missing you again
I wish that I was missing you again

The rock, the stone, the river winding
The Tree and snake always reminding
But now I'm blind-brave, I'm never timid
Not hip to the ageless laws of limits
I proved that I'm not soft
I wash the bruises off

Time your watch, I'll watch my timer
And who needs who first is last in line now
The list is longer than I can get to
They're like birds in storms of miscue
Some are left with you
And some don't make it through

Can I hold it all in your perfected presence
Touching the dirt and touched by the heavens
I wish that I was missing you again
I wish that I was missing you
I wish that I was missing you
I wish that I was missing you again
