Hazy Acres

Did you move too fast around the corner

Where you wrote the message 

Slow down 

Watch carefully as the day elapses to night 

Did you move to slow around the corner 

Where you wrote the message 

Don’t be afraid to try

Are you hiding from the colors

Are you denying the reality 

Or accepting fear

In a pill form 

Took too much and listened too long 

Devils with their angel hat 

Angels hugging devils 

Cheating in the evening light 

Did you close your eyes around the corner

Where you wrote the message 

Look before you jump 

And then you jumped because you stayed blind 

On the way down you saw the fragments 

You noticed early on

A pattern 

But ignored because you wanted something 

To be 

Did you turnaround and go the other way 

As you saw the corner 

Where you wrote the message 

Turnaround 

Then the bottom fell out 

You are in the hole 

Next to the cave 

With no echo in the canyon 

And you are yelling for the gifts 

Throwing coins in the invisible wishing wells 

As you preach to the ancestors 

The ones you feel on your body 

Hot flashes

Deep sleep free to dream 

Are you are aware of the lines that form the bonds that break 

Write your letters in the sand 

They are filling of water 

Rocks along the shore to see if you are awake 

Or remain blind
