defiant

 
freedom speaks from down deep it comes at a price
standing out from the pack is always a risk
going along on the stream sometimes you get washed down
where the shadows grow and things turn dark

twisted roots reach out and make a grab for you
in your stillness you contemplate what are your chances of blooming
what are your odds of flowering in the dank
painful thoughts grow spikes it's comfortable in the scenery
bringing forth your truth while eyes roll with disdain

skip to my Lou I hear a flat note
it's me humming an awkward tune
I wonder who set me on this path listening for the message in the music

it's so noisy here and I know the codes are warring
the wind says so as she carries it into deep space and I wonder
are the very stars strumming to the poetry being broadcast
an old language I hear each planet sings much like whale song

I wonder does our intrusion cause them to spin differently
earth is planet caravan choreography of the infinite
while we sing to her magnificence
astral traveling circling out dreams to the beat of her defiance
