Only Broken Waves Know the Ocean
Poetry & Lyrics
When the night pulled back the bedcovers and I sat knees-up ashaking waiting for a sign sublime my mind looking for the time my body athrob with an eternal rhyme the windows did bulge with something unborn something I could not name something I could not contain When the night pulled back the bedcovers and my breath was no longer mine and I knew knew the supreme design and darkness stormed my room so blinding bright my spine a stem so green and blazing white I could not help but give the night my hand letting it lead me through every shadowland When the night pulled back the bedcovers and I arose from the ruins of my dreams and inside and outside were lovers and exhale was inhale I glimpsed a love that could not fail a love that was both ocean and sail and did cry out for having so much and for wanting more and for having done all this before an undreaming love deeper than my deepest fear inviting me to give the night my hand until I could not help but look through the eyes of every face no matter how dark the place Surrounded by fiery womb was I the doors gone the walls immensely aquiver my mind no longer looking for the time new growth running wild through my room the windows a shattering of light and my whole being did shiver and quake until my frame of mind did break and I was in body what I was in spirit the great night shining wild forever full of child
