INSIDE THIS SKIN

I
Once more the music of the morning,
stirs me in my bed.
I awake and smile to find myself,
in this place again;
so I offer up a word of thanks,
for life inside this skin.

II
I went out to get some coffee,
with a dear old friend.
Did he connect with me?
Did I connect with him?
So very much eludes us,
here inside this skin.

III
I’m afraid to look back o’er my own shoulder;
into the mist of what has already been.
My past receding at an alarming rate!
The future’s just around the bend…

IV
The world around me is changing ever faster!
Or is it that I’ve slowed down a bit?
Perhaps some day we’ll find the answers we’ve been seeking,
but for now we have our myths…

V
A meeting of the heart and mind begins 
beyond the ego’s din;
but communication soon breaks down,
as each one plays to win.
Sometimes it’s very hard for you and I
to penetrate this skin.

VI
Another day’s end, and I’m drifting
off to sleep my friends.
As I nod I stop to wonder
if you’ll pass this way again?
Meanwhile I’m just doing time,
alone inside this skin…

Alone inside this skin…

Alone inside this skin…

Alone inside this skin…

Alone inside this skin!
