The Travelers and the Road

You are falling again
Like a glint in the eyes of madness
Into your jar of broken bones
And dripping dreams
Why is it, you can not see
Beyond the tapestry of bad memories
Into the fine threads that have formed you
And the hands of time and angels that have bore you
Can you not feel the thunder rumbling?
Can you not feel the tears still running?
I am running to
Away from you
Can you feel me running through your veins
Searching for an answer to your inert soul?
How many words must I drop at your feet,
Before you see your buried knee deep
In my desperate plea’s to your unyielding heart?
Why do I trudge this same old road
I know where it goes
Down to the depths of your madness and self defeat
I want nothing more than to be done with this path
And get back to the road of forgiveness and light
Why have you stayed here so long?
I see now this is your journey
And I am only a companion
Who walks with you for a while
Before I to must move on down the road
Back in to civilized worlds
Where reason has a meaning
And healing starts at home,
Someday you will come to my world
And you will be welcomed with open arms
If only you have the will to meet your future
And the courage to step beyond the shadows of your pain,
And so I go now
The paths have forked
Good day my beloved friend
I will meet you in the land of dreams restored
And if you do not come soon
I will come and look for you again
With food for you soul
And a hot drink of comfort.
It sounds like it is going to rain again,
I shall use my umbrella tonight,
You should seek shelter soon.
Goodbye.
