As the Smoke Cleared

along the way

I swam the stream

upstream...

downstream...


I had plans

I had none


as the sun rose

I lay me down

as the moon watched

I drank my wine


along the way

I drove the picture

through the mountains

through the woods


I had direction

I was lost


as the snow fell

I dreamed deep

as the storm left

I thought of life


along the way

I ran the courses

through the tunnels

over the bridges


I had confusion

I was found


as the fire raged

I danced in time

as the smoke cleared

I cleared my mind


I had pieces

then peace was mine
