(Sting ~ St. Agnes and the Burning Train…)
hello.
….hey you….wherever did you go?
i’ve been lookin’ and it seems you left before the show…
i wanted you to see it…to watch it all unfold…
it was the story of stories…..the kind of stories left untold…
i can’t imagine why you’d leave…without saying one part of good-bye…
…but know if you must go….i hope that you fly high….
…for now i am grounded…i’ve already reached my peak….
i’ve been in the sky so long…..it is the ground that i now seek….
my roots need solidity…they have for some time…
..so i went looking for you…and came to find my own mind….
hello.
……are you there? ….is that you i that i hear?….
…i thought you were coming…but you disappeared….
….i understand…i do….whatever the reason may be…
it never was you….it always was me…
i have so much to do yet….i have so much to learn…
i feed the fire like a pyro and my heart is getting burned…
..it’s been so hard to let go of…and just walk away…
until i saw the sun go down and realized it’d back one day…
i can’t say that it’s easy ……or something i want to ignore…
it’s just that my heart spoke to my mind and they feel like i’ve been here before..
hello.
…..why’d you stop?…are you turning around?
i can see your shadow….it looks to be homeward bound…
.to what you know. to what you know. to what you know. to what you know.
i’m waving with the wind and we are watching you both go….
it’s better for us all….it wouldn’t have worked out…
there is too much uncertainty….too much self doubt…
i am just now beginning to find my voice again…
i left it abandoned and lonely like an old and dusty violin….
….it’s out of tune and needs some work…but damage was not done…
i remember now how to see in the dark without any help from the sun….
hello.
did you make it? you’re blending in…did you find your way back?
there’s no light where you went, it’s so blue that it’s black…
maybe it’s best this way….now your shadow can sleep…
i’ll be sure to keep quiet…to not make a peep…
i’ll leave you in silence to gather your thoughts…
to rifle through those have’s ‘n rid those have-nots…
i don’t expect to hear word of where you are, or where you’ve been…
i don’t even expect that i will ever see you again…..
i don’t get it fully. and i really don’t want to.
but i want you to know wherever you go i hope that you always find you….

…. .
hello.
are you there? hello?……..hello?
…..
…just checkin’. i know. you left long ago..
