Out of Reach – Monday 16th April 2001

Out of Reach

i had to spend some time
and some time is fine
if it is fine with you
i had to chase demons
in haunted nightmares of belief
there are so many reason
for our internal grief
i had to be friendly
with a friendly piece of advice
it was so claustrophobic
sometimes people do not feel right
i washed the clothes
of those in noble robes
and in my dreams i saw a priest
they offered me time
and wisdom on which to feast
i had to escape the heat
i had to spend some time
but it all remains out of reach
