found my way to the water

lord knows how i found my way
down to the waterhole, but i went
soaked my head in the water
i spent all morning bent
on my knees in prayer for you

i found my way to the water
now i don't know what to do
walk down this old path i've traveled
til i get back to you
oh this lonesome road! i know too well
i'll go on

your effects

i was sensitive
to your effects
you held me pinned down
how could i leave
with you standing there
looking at me?
i could not flee

i was sensitive
to an extent
i had to turn down
how could i be
so readily and easily
deceived?

awesome "lady cow" belt buckle, gift from the girl @ bakingmaddecisions.blogspot.com

sick blouse with "underarm flowers"

make pale

blame it on the naturalists
on all those lists you made
or all the fists you held too tight too long
it is stronger than you think
the ocean pulls you home

it's all getting to you
with no beach to go to
you harvest the shells and listen to the ocean

fortuitous,
the friends that feel for you
distract you from the pains
that make pale your shell
once glowing like the ocean
