,
Too many deadlines clouding up my sight
Too many voices in my ear
Too bright in day time
Stars hidden by the light
Other things are lost its clear
In Silence I see another way
Hope Ive not wandered too far astray
All the delusion dressed up as delight
So many different stories being told
All the dollars that cover up the lies
All that fragmented science being sold
So much confusion playing with my head.
I’ve made my contribution,
The foolish things that Ive done and said
I cant go back the way I came
Something of my suffering and fear.
Sparked the possibility for my heart to hear
For reasons that reasons don’t know
To what was lost but now again is dear
Like the shadows on the snow
Like the light this time of year
Like the birds that never go
Like the words that bring a tear
Old temptation glues me to the spot
Where I can’t imagine the undoing of the knot
In silence I find my inspiration
That shows me what I have again
Though its called by many different names
In contemplation I turn back into the light
Away from where the foolish go walking with the bold
To the place where all song begins
And I find the things that I hold dear
Like the coming of the dawn
And the first star to appear
the singing of the loon
the running of the deer
And loves old sweet song
The words that bring a tear
