Beyond the boats of reason beached
We walked – the lady, the dog and I
And darker day came after darker night
As air of truth died on the breeze
And chaos of nightmare dawned.
⦿
Beyond the boats of reason beached
We walked – the lady, the dog and I
And breathing stopped because
We were not breathing
And chaos of fear dawned
⦿
Beyond the boats of reason beached
We walked – the lady, the dog and I
And darkness pressed upon our skin
But only pressed, not cut
And chaos of reality dawned
⦿
Beyond the boats of reason beached
We walked – the lady, the dog and I
And the tide had turned and waited at our backs
But waited in a darkness, pregnant
for the power of reality dawned
⦿
Among the boats of reason beached
We returned – the lady, the dog, the tide and I
The way was that which shone from our own skin
Which filled the empty darkness
And the shroud of chaos fell
from a reality finally unafraid
