FOR A SEASON

In the melody now

Just had to trust my own decisions

No more agony now

Just had to act with sweet precision

Spent some time alone

Where I was wrought with indecision

Found myself at home

Cut out my pain with one incision

Saw myself betrayed

As a reaction to my kindness

Had to be this way

To find sight in what once was blindness

Couldn't see the truth

I became lost while freely trusting

Fell into the pain

I thought my open heart was busting

All of your excuses

Could never add up to anything

You took it all away

Till I was sure that I was dying

Found freedom in that

Found sweet release in all your lying

Got in touch with feeling

In all those tears that I was crying

Found my poet tree

And then I traced it to it's roots

Found my youth in me

And then euthanized my former truth

I am the all seeing "I" now

Neither scared nor in surrender

I have found my "why" now

And it's more than I remember

Left my life in June

But I finally found it in December

Found myself in tune

Fell in love with his native colors

Yellow black and red

Embraced me there with reason

Found my Shangri-La

I'd just lost it for a season
