People talk about other places
That I don’t care to know
For I’ve been to too many places
And sometimes I guess it shows
Alone, down a distant highway
Along just for the ride
To find strength to endure
Within me I must confide
My eyes wear weary
From every tear I’ve cried
Life’s road ….. long miles
Tread as I have tried
To the right of center
A fog and misty gloom
Places where I found shelter
Cozy in melancholy’s room
There, in the shadows
Where I have always sought
Places where I found shelter
Safe from the world and deep in thought
You think too much!
Surrounded by darkened shroud
Deep within my soul did stir
My conscience screaming loud
What’s the matter?
To whom it may concern
And why? another question
In my mind did burn
Fate! Mysterious river
Can be so unkind
But more mysterious to me
Is the mindset of modern mankind
Needing deeper understanding
Quiet places provide the muse
But in a world of constant turmoil
Overloads the circuits ….. blows the fuse
Anger is what I hate
A weed uprooted from hell
Negative vibrations of spirit
In darkness thy will dwell
Like the fallen father who I love so dear
I share this trait indeed
Without even stabbing with the knife
Our hearts will always bleed
It was a beautiful ocean in bloom
Now everyone seems in a daze
A world of woe it has now become
Just drowning in another phase
I began to stroll
Down foggy streets
In an old
European town
It was just past dawn
I came to a foot bridge
I began to cross
I gazed down the river
Another bridge with arch
Loomed in the nearby
A sudden flash
Vertigo nausea
Aqua lightning emitted
From the Archway
Swirling ethereal energy
Whipped the air
A bolt lashed out
Towards me
I felt myself morph
Into aqua blue static
I was pulled into
A nether realm
I was transported
To crystal ship
Setting course upon this endless sea
Destination the Isle of Indigoes
Beyond the Deep Purple Haze
Arriving there, champagne, a toast
Looking out the open window
Gazing upon the gathering gloom
A comfortable numb invades my soul
Sitting here in Melancholy’s Room
Trapped here in this Indigoes
Chained in Melancholy’s Room
Fear comes from feeling helpless
When you fear for mankind’s doom
Pondering those with self-righteous thumb
No need for the rage to seethe
Let the love preached truly reign
If mankind could only let it breathe
You keep telling me
Put a false smile on
Fake it till you make it
When someone I loved, suddenly gone
Cannot change the past
You keep reminding me
And maybe the jokes on you
For you can’t change what will be
Can’t help the blind ones
Attending their Synagogues of Satan
All they do is soak in the greed
What amount on the check they’re debatin’
Boulevards of broken down dreams
Winding my way down gloom’s avenue
Life should always be a party
What the Hell do I have to do!
I want to invite those who have been
Caught in the rain for awhile
Offer warmth and let them come in
I just want to see them really smile
Bouncing off these walls
Locked within this padded room
World of woe an asylum
Insanity’s full bloom
Maybe I drown in the world’s sorrows
If only I could tap His magnificent vine
Letting the fruit gush forth
Enlightening us all with the New Wine
I have now become a shadow
Far beyond galactic borderlands
A sentinel in a lonely place
No Where’s Isle gloomy sands
A Nowhere Man assigned
To guide those strayed and lost
Guide them to an ancient arena
One battles for their soul the cost
Until the duty fulfilled
Behind the veil to finally see
A place and peaceful Paradise
Where there is no more misery
Through my misty gaze
Seeking crystal clear understanding
Mystery beyond Deep Purple Haze
Peaceful Paradise Everlasting
But alas
My eyes are growing dim
Yet wait! ! ! !
There in the mists
Celestial shores
A return to star stuff
To be once again…..
…..with the Indestructibles…..
…..just one more step…
