I had this sung to me today.

He sailed away off the coast of maine where the waves no longer show their shapes.
They just are, like the wind through the grass, it moves.
And as we said goodbye upon the shore I dipped my fingers into his skin and the waves grabbed around my ankles, but they could not hold and the ocean thrashed blindly at it's edges without eyes to see ripping away the sand beneath me.
But the calm at the center of the ocean pulled him in and away from me.

They say his boat went down off the coast of Maine where the waves no longer show their shapes. They just are, like the rain down your cheek, it moves.
And as we said goodbye upon the shore I dipped my toes into his skin and the waves grabbed around my ankles, but they could not keep hold.
So I walked where he would pull me without eyes to see letting go of the fear which held me in his absence, but the grace at the center of the ocean pulled me in.

She wouldn't appreciate me Slapping her name on this However. its beautiful and she wrote it. I want people to read it. in fact I want people to hear her sing it. its excellent it really is.
She inspires me.

I love you Lauren.

on ignorance..

Nobody is as close as I had thought

The truth is I have never been this far
I am a million miles away

Floating among the stars 
You'll lay staring into my speckled black abyss

But you'll never find me as long as I am easy to dismiss

Consider your life for a moment

Ponder the finer points and reflect on your pain
These are the things that fuel my brain

I slip easily through freezing nothingness

No real direction, eyes closed against icy emptiness

Forever in all directions

Any glimpse and your head will swim

Your stomach will turn and your heart will freeze

The epitome of fear will burrow into your back

Trust me any ignorance you find will tell you

Its best to stay blind

May the Force be with you.
Andy
