In The Wake



In The Wake

We direct our lives and then it seems destiny laughs
Hand on the tiller until it shakes and shirks
That momentary flinch which separates and divides
Regret, excuses, damnation and sighs

Regardless of whatever, the wreckage resides
Then in calm agitation the realization climbs
Deep down we know the direction was I
The momentary sight that decided on awry

Sight of the of the mind picture that accumulated parts into art
Art gallery in the mind that protects our hearts
The wake that pulls emotions of desire rejected
Raises doubt that confuses, after being ejected

The line overstepped was when I revealed my soul
To you it was invisible and I knew you were no diamond but coal
I have no heaviness from an albatross
I have some sadness, but most of all, no loss
