Falling once again down the stairs that weren't there
If I open my eyes all I can do is dream.
The blank rain came down like a fog to my eyes.
Cut the living in a half and make them my size.
I discovered once that life wasn't reality,
But then I locked myself up and hid in a box.
I tried once to flatter the child inside
But he came out with a bucket of rocks.
Paint the sky orange because I like it, yes I do.
I will look toward your gravestone in remembrance of you.
You entered my life a sparrow,
And you left it an eagle on the path.
Dying in the hospital like you did.
You opened my eyes to many colors,
A path where the rainbow lives.
No more rotten potatoes in the cellar
You had too much to give.
An author without a written word.
You taught me all I need to know.
You thought I never was listening,
But believe me I sucked it all in.
A little bit of nothing, pleasures of the few,
Like living on a time bomb.
You knew, you knew.
