The Tall Grass
The Tall Grass
I walked among the tall grass just to clear my head
I walked with the living who lived like they were dead
The sunshine fell upon me like sheets of endless rain
It precipitated my joy with convoluted pleasures of pain
The fire burned me with excruciating heat of each grass stalk
I met ancient ghost of memories along my solemn walk
They tortured my future with talk of my long ago past
As I took my psychic stroll among the tall grass
Expressionless faces approached me one by one
Faces that I remembered from before I was born
They whispered echo's of dark secrets from long ago
Time had forgotten and pushed deep down below
Unrestrained essence of peace flowed over my soul
It reached under my bridge and killed my gruesome troll
As the red river flowed slowly out of my hidden pain
The tall grass choked off all of the lucidity that remained
As my walk among the tall grass came to its blissful end
I dreamed of a peacefulness that I hope would soon begin
I walked among the tall grass just to clear my head
I walked with the living who lived like they were dead
The sunshine fell upon me like sheets of endless rain
It precipitated my joy with convoluted pleasures of pain
The fire burned me with excruciating heat of each grass stalk
I met ancient ghost of memories along my solemn walk
They tortured my future with talk of my long ago past
As I took my psychic stroll among the tall grass
Expressionless faces approached me one by one
Faces that I remembered from before I was born
They whispered echo's of dark secrets from long ago
Time had forgotten and pushed deep down below
Unrestrained essence of peace flowed over my soul
It reached under my bridge and killed my gruesome troll
As the red river flowed slowly out of my hidden pain
The tall grass choked off all of the lucidity that remained
As my walk among the tall grass came to its blissful end
I dreamed of a peacefulness that I hope would soon begin
