'A Mountain A Valley' Poem by Coolwater Menstruums Shannon Daron Strauss

'A MOUNTAIN A VALLEY'

FULL AND FRESH OF LIFE I HAD BEEN FORGIVEN
EMPTY AND PRUNED I DONE IT AGAIN
ROTATING MY GESTURES CYCLING UNSURE
WHEN AT 1st I WAS HIGH....ATLEAST MY NERVE SUBICLES ENDURED
FORGETFUL TENTIONS DEPLOITING MY TACT
TRUE I HAVE FALLEN, SAME BREATH I'LL BE RIGHT BACK
TO THAT GRACIOUS MOUNTAIN THAT WERE SO KIND
SILLY OF ME TO ACT SO BLIND
HIGH AND MIGHTY THE MOUNTAIN TAUGHT ME
TO SOAR TO FLY HOW TO SURVIVE
I SHOULDVE TRUSTED THAT ROCK TO BE WISE
AFTER ALL ITS BEEN HERE KEEPNG TRACK; RADIO CARBON TIME
MIGHTY LOW...WERE THE WARNING IF I JUMPED OFF COURSE
NOW IM DOWN IN THIS VALLEY OCCOMPANIED BY THE OPAQUE AND.......GRAVITATIONAL FORCE
NO NEED TO EXAGERATE SOMETIMES WAVES OF POLARIZED LIGHT
THIS IS NO PLACE FOR MAN ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT
TRUE THERES GREEN GRASS, BUT NO-ONE IN SIGHT
THERES ROOM FOR HYDRATION...THERES BACKWASH AND SWEAT
ONCE YOUVE HAD THE LIME...ITS HARD TO SETTLE FOR LESS
GRACIOUS IT WAS AND STILL CAN BE
ALL I HAVE TO DO IS GET TOGETHER ME
