Gently Lie
September 10, 1991

wake in darkness
live in night
so you choose to be
well go on now friend
that's your own way
that's ok by me

you thought to tell me
dark is peaceful
that dreams and rest and peace come there
that in the islands
in your mind lie
the places where you really are

so now I waken to the darkness
I look around to see loose shapes
a mirror in the night shows nothing
and this seems good to me
'cause faith unwavering can be a weapon
'cause fear can bring down pain
but in the night a mirror shows nothing
and this seems good to me

but the light waits-

here we step out of the bedroom
to a world where diplomats say war has come
to a world of honest night
and a set of mirrors that can reflect in the dark
to a child in the corner
faint with fear of concussions
approaching as the bombs fall
ever closer in the dim

the answer?
run
no time to figure
see?
the sky is closing
the grass goes black
and charcoal melts-
my last thought is of a mirror
showing only darkness
and a peace of sorts
from ignorance
