My walls not yet have built
a steady roof for me to lilt,
and a cooing sigh of a sanguine mind,
nor a mending heart of love called mine.
"Give me my raft!" I cry afloat,
"send me a river so I may climb your clime!"
But nothing back is hollered hence,
and a crippling sigh in silence nests.
Why ask the skies with yearning tongue
if answers lie but only in angels?
And I will see now no one, despaired and disillusioned,
my world loses meaning, my mind its intuition, but
Lo! A voice wrings my skies!
"Get outta your head, 'cause there's a universe of minds -
you're not alone, you're not alone,
you're not alone in this canopy of time!"
