Something has clipped my wings, reminded me I’m no angel, a clumsy staggering foal on a wide uneven road and I can barely lift my eyes to see the transcendental treachery unfold, something has dashed my hopes, brought me right back down to earth, a crude and graceless serf, stumbling since birth, but my eyes are permanently open now I can finally see what life is really worth, you can choose to follow, or you can choose to stray, but the path set out before you, never changes in any way, from the breathless heights of my vantage point, now the bilious clouds have parted, reveal the truth behind the lie, what really happens when we die, the night is nothing short of rest before the sunlight wakes this beautiful new day, you can take it easy, or rage against the light but the sun will always pale away and give way to the night, everywhere there are crossroads, footpaths, tracks and lines, you can stay true to the noble cause once you’ve learnt to read the signs.
