Long Road May 9, 2013   It's been a long, long road Miles flowing one into the other with no beginning and no end And I’m still not quite sure I can see     I’ve had the sun’s transparent fire in my face all along   Silence was my albatross As I choked in the midnight darkness of the fumbling afraid And I’m still not quite sure I can see   I’ve had the moon’s opaque pearl by my side all along   The clocks kept ticking, ticking, ticking With no idea I was away yet here the whole time And I’m still not quite sure I can see   I’ve had the earth’s iron claw at my throat all along
