Mt. Epiphany

I can see between the middle of the lines

And read the riddles of the hearts that beats beneath

The bodies of the sentimental

But it vexes me, cos I can’t see You

I’ve traveled to Epiphany, I’ve seen the sights I wanna see

Scaled the mountain top to bottom, hit the road

Went back to boredom

And no surprise, I’m back at the start

But You’re always…. You’re always

You’re always

Out of reach

What the hell, I’m losing my marbles over

Something I can’t see

I’d build a bridge, but I doubt I’d be any closer

To where You’d be

I’ve played the pawn, the knight and bishop

Rolled the dice and moved my pieces

Spent more time down on my knees

Waiting for a sign or a signal

But it vexes me, cos I can’t read You

I’ve traveled to Reverie, I’ve seen the hope that’s left for me

Sailed the clouds just for while, came back down

Reviewed the options

And once again, I’m back at the start
