Walls And Doors
Time flies uncontrollably, but we can steer with but a leaf
`We could try to move backward but the current is already there
The messages we missed couldn’t be there
What did I miss, why am I here
What will happen to me, will I die a death without friends
No I can’t think like that I won’t go down
I need to wait in this blizzard sheltered by unopening doors
But I saw you, you came
You saw me and brought a shovel and dug me out of my hole
You heard my prayers, you heard my plea
I saw first light after being stuck for awhile
I couldn’t bear it, I passed out in front of you
I woke up and it was all gone I saw myself in a hole surrounded by unopening doors
I thought if I screamed loud enough you would come
But I was canceled out by the undying snow
I wouldn’t go dismissing everything I did
I saw your gentle face and I reached out
And I touched snow, You smiled and then disappeared
I saw you and then you were gone
I saw myself fading too
I couldn’t let that happen
I had to meet this stranger, she intrigued me, She helped me
I thought I saw her and then I felt a shocking jolt in my right arm
I had to rub it with snow, and you disappeared
I feel a pinch and get sucked out of this world, The world of my dreams
And I see you, I recognize you, I hug you, I thank you
That was you, you pulled me out of this icy fantasy, I felt a jolt of relief, but then she disappeared
Was it all my imagination, or was she there, I walk out and see the person, My roommate
I thank her and yet she seems bewildered, then I go to the beach thinking about what just happened, I buried all my other thoughts into my hole, and think about just one, Why did I see her?
I see the birds fluttering
I think to myself, Why, How did she know
She helped me, help me, They say good walls make good neighbors, I don’t believe that anymore I believe
it’s the doors that really count
