Mare

Dazed I walked
Slipped, tripped and woke up
I looked back in fear
Trees had changed
Naked pines had turned to shades
How long was I away

And where are you now
Are you still out there somewhere
Dreams untrue
Are keeping me in solitude
When will I shake my mare

A blaze of light
Falling from abandoned skies
Was that you I saw
Had to be
Nothing here makes sense to me
All I knew is gone

Where are you now
You've got to be out there somewhere
I can't tame
The violent winds that howl your name
When will I shake my mare

Once I get out of here
Then I will know where to begin
I'll cross the sea
I know what I'm seeking

Once I get out of here
Then I will know where I am bound
I finally
Know I am leaving

I don't know where you lie
Glimpses of quiet lights
Down in the doldrums
A shimmering ocean

Loss of sight
I've waited for a long, long time
Thought that you were here
Dark and bent
Shades swing from end to end
Will I see you again
