Thank Gd

Thank Gd for my freedom

Thank Gd for my soul

Thank Gd for this moment

and the muse that

makes me whole

Thank Gd for the 

wondrous wrapped up

wrinkle in the bowl

Of tomorrows medley soup thing

breaking bread

and salty fowl

Thank Gd for the memories

Memories cannot

hold me deep

Be king rivers

dare to keep

silent whispers

in the deep

creep-like sleep

the parakeet

that cannot speak

a beat

like miep

with secrets

now to 

keep

Thank Gd

I am 

lonely

Lonely arms

in

to the 

night

Gd alone has 

given me

the hunger 

that I 

fight

And as i 

ride the

river

weighing paths of

wrong and 

right

I wonder 

in your 

freedom

have you ever 

thought to

fight

or did the 

moments

bleed some 

and

send you

into

fright

Did you want more

than you read

come and

show me

what to

write

i cannot move

the pen

but for

the 

music

taking 

flight

Today was some

thing

dreadful

Today was 

some

thing 

real

So why 

can't I

break free off

all the 

sadness

that I

feel

If I

succumb

to 

sorrow

and

acknowledge

its ap

peal

I doom my

self to

know

ledge

and the

pain of its

re

veal

I doom my

self as

call

ledge

dooms it

self

and yet con

seals

The child life

around me,

it isn't an i'd

deal

I alone have

problems,

and a parent's

movie

reel

But that's not true for

problems

that 

require you to

feel

The marriage now

is 

over

The mare

ridge now is

dead

the marriage of de

nial

draping on our

mare

ridge

bed

The mare

ridge ends in 

try ale

and the 

sea crits that we

said

Despite the

ticking di

al

that your

turning

fingers

led

Until you

did it 

once

too much

and

vanished

in your 

stead

It's over now for

ever

over now and

i am

fine

I'm not

fine

but that is

fine

for the

fine

can never

shine

The light of some

one's

sorrow

as she

drowns her

woes in

wine

And in so 

doing

morrow

leaves a 

trail of

pain 

behind
