Around This Life


Horse and buggy

Horse around

Around the barn

Around the town

Town and country

Town hall meet

Meet some new friend

Meet to eat

Eat for love and

Eat from pain

Pain of heart

Pain of bone

Bone deep longing

Bone to pick

Pick a scab

Pick apart

Apart from life

Apart alone

Alone within a teeming crowd

Alone is never quite allowed

Allowed by fate

Allowed to try

Try to never reason why

Try to let the games go by

By myself here

By the road

Road to ruin

Road back home

Home calls roamers

Home fires burn

Burn with pride

Burn with lust

Lust for life

Lust for power

Power craved

Power corrupted

Corrupted files

Corrupted values

Values knowledge

Values wisdom

Wisdom squandered

Wisdom gained

Gained in prestige

Gained the stage

Stage production

Stage of life

Life abounds

Life is magic

Magic life

Abounds with wonder
