In the high of the morning Discover it's fine to be gentle and kind to my self in my mind To be gentle is frightening for fear Than of losing the rich edge of meanness The harsh light of Truth In the high of the morning High in the old city Hands me a coffee and her smile reads to me Tales of potentially finding my front porch Tales of the green ocean gentle and kindly My foot finds the day again All the way back to the foot of the muse again Kneeling before her as nakеd as born again Foot finds the hip again Lips find the curve of thе neck I expect to find devils inside of me If only to prove to me God is alive in me A salty green ocean My soul goes so swimmingly Ocean of spirit within me I hear it! I hear it! I hear it! I hear her breath rising beside of me The highway beneath us Unrolling like licorice Guts in a lover's crush To wander so aimlessly, falling in bliss As the driver shifts up into fifth I recall that I used to despair at the lost chance of knowing A much longed for beauty But now that I know it's my duty to love life Not try and know life To show it-to show I don't know yet I know that it's real
