Coastal gale
It is for reason and understanding,
and you accuse me of being what i am.
I am the hook and I am the anchor
and i burden one to each hand.
This balance is a part of me
and for these days i still carry.
For i dont know where i am going,
To the land, to the sea.
I live on the coast,
in the element
I live without wings,
in the highest of winds.
You can ask me who I am,
But I don't know
Again and again,
and i wont know.
Only still waters are clear
manufactured and labeled
understandable and void.
Here we make waves
Here we have sand
Here the earth speaks to us
when we're together
Thats who i am
and now I live in fear
a fear of days
for all I am is still limited
maybe you will see theres not much further of me
and drop me like the anchor I'm holding high and dry,
All in your name.
You are the same as me
such a twisting of bodies and souls
and now both our arms are shaking together
How our words will jitter
How we can already feel our hearts,
looking down the cliffs where there could be breaking
Let us not keep from each other
Let us hold the fragile together
As this new love takes it fist steps
We learn whats its like to have wings
