Quencing the wrenching thirst

Quenching the wrenching thirst dan ankers I got lost somewhere around the middle I was caught; despairing Second fiddle While I walked around Lost within my mind While others watched (a world apart) Around the borders Loneliness and disillusionment were in place; That mask of order And as I carried yet my dreams and collected them within a protective sheath Made out of hope The sheriff of that desert town found no relief The wild wild west of oneself is not a place to find peace. As I strode, my horse beside me because his face said, “Sir, Please don’t ride me” Found myself among cacti and the wolves And as the moon It did climb and it approached the morning time And at first light my horse did change his tune His neighing begged we both take flight and so we chased the rays of light that led us both to much stranger places And past the borders of the mind where lies a maddness; another kind I found myself refreshed and too, my mare This new world was full of trains and wizards magic phones and talking lizards but the freedom there looked good to me And my horse did lay down to pasture There was me My only master Without so much as a God to hold me back And now I walk and now I’m free My horse long gone or was he me? And was I just pretending to be chained? Well I guess I’ll never know Battles come and battles go but only through the wind may we be affirmed Until such time as we are one We must still face the setting sun and the darkness deep within shall call us back But every time we heed its dark seduction we’re learning more things overall and I guess that has to be good enough for me Because no pipe dream is there to please me Never was apparently see the trick of night is abuse through second hand illumination Now, I am freely pondering wavelengths Palpable and nobly wrought I am now the worm who’s never caught I guess the lesson overall is always heed your horse’s call and when the time comes get on its back and ride Take your time but take your chances Don’t miss out on good romances and above all else for god’s sake lose your mind
