Lay your ley lines carefully and police them well |
Jurisdictions Circles, borders... bridges The boundaries we draw Lines in sand banks, ridges as tides pull on the shore Erasing jurisdictions, our geography allows With circles come restrictions, such waves can't disavow A circle never broken? A bond left incomplete? When truths are left unspoken Left open... obsolete I guess it might make more sense, to say the things we mean Reviewing through a past tense Reliving things we've seen Bridges long, scoped, looked across, yearning of the views Spaces envied, places lost, faces traced, chased... mused Overthought and overspent, with little left to show Over wrought and over rent, with oh so long to go With bridges burnt, and flames not mine, from fires that burnt on Kindled stored, dried over time, waiting for the one With Arrows knocked and tensioned, fletched and aims so misconstrued Such targets left unmentioned, fledged … with quarry not pursued We try to act, we don't care less, with alibis confessed We're all just works, lost in progress, ... we hope they see the best Wishing for a wonderland, so cautious as we go The more we try to understand, the less we seem to know 'midst circles, cracked and broken … perhaps they always were, with hidden truths unspoken Drunken... in the dark conferred With anyone but who they're for, such borders have their place Boundaries we've set long, shored, fall ignored, lacking grace With happy ever afters sung, souls stranded, stuck on shelves Swinging from the rafters, strung, a noose... we cut ourselves Laced barbed wire laden souls, from wrong sides of the tracks Such bridges bear such maiden tolls, down ley lines looking back Into a heart that's aching, fleet, shaking 'neath the ice Cold, and all but breaking, beat Slow, tightened in a vice Tensions turning, running through, some people never learn No way in if they won't let you … maybe now's the time to burn? For now the circles broken, on this winter day's refrain... but beneath the ice it's spoken … and the circle starts again |
