We keep looking on the outside
for things we can never find.
We keep looking on the outside
drifting with the tides.
We keep searching wide through giant vines
looking for a spirit guide,
swimming hard in wild tides torn up as a blind child.
Yet stop fast, looking back
over all of life’s path.
What are manly men ? Strong ?
Or dead afraid of being wrong-
looking for a wild ride
to cover up the crying child.
Ground down, lick death
feel your wounds and breath in
ground in, pass beyond-
life is just the spirit’s dawn.
Live long.
