The nether world of dreams
neither here nor there, I hate
to exist in the in-between
I want to know
where I stand
I want you to know
what I truly believe
I need security, a place where I can grow
not a prison, but a place I can call home
I existed
in the nether world
too long
It’s like a dream that you can’t quite recall
It’s like a cliff you are approaching but can’t
quite see, and then you fall
I’m too smart and I’m too old
to allow that to happen again
A world of chaos is not for me
but don’t get me wrong, my soul
must be free
Freedom and security
they can co-exist, no matter what
our screwed up culture says
I like to stand on solid ground
then spread my wings and fly
like the black-winged hawk
my spirit bird, leading me
No need to hide
I’m strong inside
