3 wishes...that she was granted
3 wishes...of the goddess of the sands
3 wishes...that she imagined
3 wishes...of the emerald trance
3 wishes...of the mythical dance
Never...never came true
Never...never came true
If I can count it, if I can devour it
If I can touch it, if I can consume it
Swept up in the fantasy of a promise
Chase elusive, as she seduces, to bulldoze those in her way

The Mountain (I)

I.
Sometime, someplace
Will I come down, to that ground?
Where I withdrew, reclusive mountain
Where I ascended, and I killed god
Now hesitate on the precipice of re-convention
Contemplate the risk of the promenade
Once familiar landscape, discreetly summons
Synaptic echoes stir uneasy, unearthly creatures
But I am enlightened, but I am enlightened
But I am enlightened, and I'm but a stranger to you
With my ear to the ground, the enraptured sound
Stegosaurus pound, drum circle
Might I reside?

II.
What might lie within these halls?
Beyond the torchlight on these walls
The crown awaits or the serpent crawls
Riches so painstakingly
Embalmed for generativity
Awaiting their discovery
The dungeons & the dragons groan
Magic, secret worlds bemoan
The dying without being known
What might lie within these halls?
Beyond the torchlight on these walls
The crown awaits or the serpent crawls

The Dream (III)

III.
Sometime, someplace
Will I come down, to that ground?
Test my reality with acquisition
Of reflection on involuntary orientation
Demagnetizing co-regulation
Could free me from the gravitational pull
To choose or not to choose, that is the question...
What you create is what you will experience
I'm digging this look of the pin-striped vest
Fine white shirt with the collar pressed
Slick jeans to boot so I can cover the rest
So become who you are, and get it on!

A Different Place

Never seen things from here before, as many times as I've come in
Briefly traded reins for rains, gone and back again
The light seems a little different here from this side of the room
And the only clouds now are those of the monsoons
Be not mistaken, and heed not at first chance
The offered words of the others who attribute circumstance
Call me reluctant, or hesitant at best
I hate to tread lightly, but the past may well attest
though I hoped that I'd be using the past tense by now
and though I hoped that I could disavow, the day has to come...
it has to come...
In a different place
In a different place
Must be a different place
Needing to know that that which has nourished is not merely apparition
For as the puddle ahead does vanish, so can the drive within
Need to believe in a light in the attic or a chance of potential godsend
If only bestowed a fleeting glimpse of faint flicker at the corridor's end
In a different place
In a different place
Must be a different place
Show me a different place
Show me a different place

Predisposed for calibration
Trade free will to transcribe dictation
Drink the kool-aid of the princess
Run such lucrative business
Wed the CEO, granting corporate disdainment
Makeovers and Whole Foods arrangements
Read the lines, enchanted
Bask in things that are granted
And if this place & time dictates…
…to get your piece of the pie
I saw from above you walk across the street
Alone and coated against the iced grey morning
If stripped of the things
Those ashen blessings
& left just to sing
with you
