I wish I could have been
The air of reason
Forever calm
Before the storm
Instead of becoming
Those howling winds
Those howling winds
You knew before
But having been
Picked over plenty
Like a jukebox full
Of another’s score
And though I never
Sought to reign
Like Aprils Fool
I seem to pour
There’s an answer in
Silence.
It may be hard to swallow
but it’s the only truth there is—
beside all that other of course.

“Remove the word good from your vocabulary.”
Shrugging, he digs, “and replace it with what?”
“Whatever’s wrong with the world, my friend.”
“I’m listening…”
And upon waving him farewell.
“A book worth reading isn’t always easy
but it’s worth the effort.”
No one holds the answer
For the answer’s in the past
And the present’s always fleeting
Seems like nothing ever lasts
So hold strong for the future
The answer will unfold
Like mud beneath the lotus
Blossom and you’ll know
