Wander Wildly Away

Today, I decided to take a break from introducing forms of poetry.  It can be a bit trying.  Also, I went out last night.  So sue me.

This is an old piece, but I like it.  If you would care to click the link, you can see a live version with my band, The Dinner Situation.  Pardon my singing, please.

Wail and Wander

Artist Unknown-  Poor little Hansel
and Gretel.  I am too freaked out by
the concept of the movie exisiting
 to go see the movie. 

I dawdled, and now I've lost your shadow,

But I've forked the path for myself.

You would be proud

As I wander wildly away to the left 

And cast no crumbs with which to find my way back.

It's all over now.

It's all just begun.

And the beginning is a very good place to start,

Over and over like I've done before,

But this time you aren't looking.

I guess I'll just twist and wither while trying to find the light.

Sometimes the sun just don't shine,

You've warned me before.

And I suspect that the sun won't shine as often as it used to

What with you being so far ahead, and all.

I don't need to be forgiven.

It's so improbable anyway.

Back to out regularly scheduled program tomorrow.  Ciao kids!
