Sadness creeps up the wall

That you have painstakingly

Constructed around you.

Grief builds.

A crack of anger emerges.

Will you be alone forever?

A hot-air balloon rises out of the valley,

And up past your window.

Past swells into present into future.

There is someone else in your world.

There are others who care about you.

The phone rings, the doorbell chimes.

The clock ticks.

Time keeps you company.

Your destiny arrives.

You exist for a reason.

Someone needs your presence.

Join the motion around you.

Feel the connection.

Absolute nothing seems like a thing,

But there is really no nothing.

Everything is something.

So when you feel numb,

And out of touch, and it seems like

You feel nothing, know

You are always feeling something.

Front row seats at your circus.

Trapeze artist swings, flings and clings

With the best of them. Tweet?

Lions jump through fiery rings,

Only to step in elephant poop.

Must have fed them at the wrong time.

Ring a bell, then here comes

The clown car at high speed.

Screeches to a halt and empties thirteen.

It’s a good show, but the popcorn’s stale,

And the chocolate covered raisins

Melted in my hand (it was hot too).

Rearrange the spoon in my belt.

Croon to the moon just how I felt.

King of things betrays the servant.

Don’t look that way. It’s all I can do.

Nothing but gum stuck to my shoe.

Do you live in the path of mess?

You can tell me. Please, confess.

It’s the same in every camp.

Drop it off without a stamp.

Whistle a nifty tune in the dark.

Up the chimney, left your mark.

Try my self too much you’ll see,

I’m not one to mince or sizzle.

POW! It hits, then I’m gone.

Won’t hang around to milk the fun.

Won’t tell you twice when I fume.

Won’t apologize to those in the room.

It’s you and me, got to settle things.

What you get is what you bring.
