not anymore

lying still, i hold my heart up high
it glints like flecks of gold on a summer night
pink, orange, blue
and i feel it beat and complete its
task in the moist sweat of my hands
and i feel warm, for once
pinks and blues and reds all
hugging me forever

i never knew how much i loved the wind
sensations never bothered me too much
lying still, i hold my heart
and let the wind wash past my hands
and feel the pain, the smiles, more
everything is alive

i met a man of fleeting fancies
his name was me, a strange name indeed
he told me all my world was cracking
he told me, "better get your glue and broom"
i didn't, didn't listen or reply
and now i feel the grass smile on my neck
the sunrise, sunset fall upon my face
lying still, i hold my heart up high
tell all the world
"go on, do what you will."
