Outside Looking In
Looking through other people�s windows,
On the outside, looking in,
Any road but the way home,
Night shadows call to me,
Luring me,
Yearning to be lost,
Become one with the night,
One with the cold, one with the dark,
Escape, dissolve into the shadows,
Fade to nothing,
Disintegrate,
Wander the night drenched fields,
Under the shade of shadowy trees,
Following along the river,
To places I�ve never seen,
Find the island of my dreams,
Nightmare loneliness,
An emptiness that hurts,
Heavy nothing weighs me down,
Loose my skin,
Transcend,
And fly away,
A spirit on the night breeze,
Wafting where �ere the wind takes me,
Far away, far away,
I wonder what is there, beckoning,
I must go, it calls me,
Peace? Adventure? Sleepless dream?
No matter, I must go,
Lay down the weighty burden of my flesh,
Discover what it is to be free . . . .
