Dandelions In The Wind

The Shrink

I understood the outcome

I acknowledge the reprieve

That bore my fate so lonesome

The goals that you achieved

By taking pardon on my memoirs

And absconded from the link

Between my future and my past

And brought me to this brink

Of absolution and forgiveness

And all in which you had a part

By forcing me to pray, confess

The deepest desires of my heart

Yet still I watch you every day

Your glasses prissy on your nose

The monotone of voice and grey

hair that forms the optimum of your pose.

So restricted and controlled your bearing

That guides me through this journey's course

To form a healthy, strong and caring

Human in its everlasting force

Yet sometimes in a moment

I see the man inside your heart

When you forget to cover and defend

Where human stops and guidance start

Is there a lonely man in your lair?

That wishes for a sharing hearth

Where fires burn and passion flair

And a silly cat that makes you laugh?

Or are you egotistically self-controlled

And in no need for anyone

While guiding lost and frighteningly cold

Souls to peace and a little fun?

So Doctor tell me if you please

Are you strong enough to bear this slog?

Or are you just as human and at ease

When princes always turn to frogs?
