More
it is more than words
because i have seen –
more brains than i ever need
and it is hard to imagine
how you can be left with such need
it is more than words
because i have surfaced
only to find feelings –
i had once drowned
because when faced with ceilings
my hope is skyward bound
now, here we are
and time is racing by
i can see change
with every blink of my eyes
but i am holding out the banners
i once found in my youth
i am promoting personal religions
i found in my early groups
