Soul Sediment Poem by Roger Snow

~~~~~~~ Soul Sediment ~~~~~~~~~

She stands to reason
what cannot be felt

her heart in season
no doubt she feels it swell

Love glazed eye's
leaning backward over head

under blue skies
sitting pretty on her bed

Talk of ages
was that, , ,
she'd come down sometime

turning back pages
to a lost,
but much better time

Knights in Armor
steeds dressed to kill

lance over shoulder
await command of her will

Too many days in the desert
waiting for rain

too many days laying
soaking in pain

free now
she runs to fill
her hearts longing
to sit upon her hill

Come round to reasons
none suffice
bare knuckled pride
has a very high price

Love on the fly

has a much deeper price

Love through her will

has an even deeper slice

Pay out for loving
the wrong man
she finds herself spent

straight out loving
what she can
as though
her love's for rent

What does it
compel her to stand
stand there waiting
waiting on the
wrong damned man

What does it
brings her undone
by her own hand
hearts been twisted
twisted and wrung

daylight morning rise
high over her hill

sometimes your love
is not by your will

But by tomorrows fate
to bring you around
to find yourself better off
then loving that clown


~~~ (chorus)~~~~


Love on the fly

has a much deeper price

Love through her will

has an even deeper slice


(second verse)

Castles no home
too large for a lover
who lives there alone

She wrestles with feelings
held too long
never let them free

keeps her reeling
spinning
away from being free

Small wonder her hurt and pain
you can't run wild
through a down pour
of tears like rain

Who knows
one day she may
again live her dream

heaven knows
she's heavy
with too much she's seen

Someone may come along
and teach her
how to love again

She'll hold together her heart
hopefully until then, , , ,


~~~~~ (chorus)~~~~~~

Love on the fly

has a much deeper price

Love through her will

has an even deeper slice
