Quest of Josephine
Headwind
Digging
like a mole with lame legs
Rooting
For months now so restless
Sustaining
till my hands bleed, my eyes shed tears
My soul sailed away so many years ago
Can't remember ever saying it farewell
Who is the one that took it away?
and made my life an empty shell
Search it, blame it, fight it, frame it
Search it, name it, find and reframe it
Whenever a star falls from the sky
I can't help myself wondering why
she's not here waiting bedside
Cover me up, kiss me goodnight
I am rejuvenating every year that passes me by
I'm not free, nor chained, my life is a lie!
My heart tells me I am a lost one
wanting to find home
How could I be such a fool?
Thinking my life depending on this thing
Now I see its repellence, its futility
It only deceived me, disguised me, it disgusts me!
It's not the left or the right
Good or wrong, no land's in sight
If I could take back control, determine my route
My journey would end as it should
Sick and tired, nocuous feelings all along
Pull down my shoulders
Thoughts keep clinging to my brain
Make them fleeting, I lose it all, I am insane!
Tornado head, awake in my bed
How could I not give up?!
Vicious circles I keep crossing
So consciously aware of this sick talking
Nagging, I am the victim
Still I am aware of the other side
I feel the light
Search it, blame it, fight it, frame it
Search it, name it, find and reframe it
Whenever a star falls from the sky
I can't help myself wondering why
she's not here waiting bedside
covering me up, kisses me goodnight
c me, 2009
