INTERSECTION

 Red lights hurt my eyes

As I stop at the intersection

Waiting to proceed

But not knowing how

RAINBOW SKY

There's a rainbow sky overhead

In my town

As I stare out my window

Trying not to feel down

No rescue coming

Just another house on the street

You don't know I am in here

Their destructive plan complete

DROWNING

Drowning

In a sea of loss and sadness

You made a hole in my heart

I felt it as soon as you left

Spewing insults as though

We were discussing the weather

I always knew you were too far gone

In this delusion

To come back to me

I always knew that you would leave me

Drowning

UP HERE

 From up here, I can see you

But you don't know I am here

Wanting to join you

Wherever you are headed

From up here, I can feel you

Purposeful and calm

Not knowing that just a few stories above

A lonely woman awaits his return

From up here, I can wish for you

A friend to confide in

But alas, I remain alone

You never knew I was here

MANATEES

 We really need to go pay the manatees a visit

Find out what happened to the world we once knew

Replace the balls of conformity with balls of freedom in their tanks

So they can write a different future

A better future

For the world we once knew
