Pale steam ahead


You can't help who you're falling for
When you just fall
The white cliffs of Cortez
Never seemed that tall
I think I need it all
So find something, fill the time
And I'll know you'll do the same when we climb

Someone's gotta give
Under the thundering night
Someone's gotta live
Like they're livng their whole life
Acknowledge what you have in your hands
Out in the rain
It's alright to walk back
Just not the same as you left

So as far as we go
I follow myself
Paint my face red
My face says "help"
Believing in me
Reason I'm around
What you have in your hands


It's been two hundred and fourteen days since my frontal lobe "fused" and I became responsible and grown-up. One would think that I'd have got used to it by now, it takes the average person 66days to form a habit or routine and I've had 214. I guess I'm not the "average". Whatever the case, that clarion travel bug is starting to re-appear and my brain is bouncing ideas back and forth like a bug trying to escape the sheet netting on a house burning to the ground. Intoxicated with the fumes, the bug is becoming exhausted. This fire is illusive yet fiery in nature. At the core it is blue in color, becoming red hot and lashing out at the colors of my soul. The crackling sounds of my house caving are becoming hard to ignore. It's not derived from unhappiness or mundanity, constant friction of fighting against everyday life. No. It's the fire that's created from embers that are constantly glowing, growing and engrossing all that is life. Wanting to explore. Wanting to learn. Wanting to be wild. 

Wildfire. 
Possibly unstoppable from the get-go, 
When life can't get drier
It's the search flow
To the vast hills
The highest 
To the ample frills
The farthest
To the sunshine shadows
The Regardless.
