Insomnia


All through the night
I twist and turn
Try as I might
I crave and yearn
For closed-eyed rest
A journey away
From Reality Beach
And Consciousness Bay
Cascading and tumbling
Light through the blinds
Finds me wailing and grumbling
In sun-rays unkind
Perhaps I should resign to a life without sleep
Or perhaps I should stop counting all these damn sheep

Walking In The Air

Man walks in air
How?
To where?
The air, I tell thee
See clear
Beneath the sky of dark
Light
To what avail
Does the man take fright.

Highlighted within this inspired collection of verse, is the manner in which it is when one feels they are above all as they walk 'in air' that they are most vulnerable - demonstrated through the phrase 'take fright', which conveys the fragility of an over zealous ego. Does this have anything to do with the song?.. No.
