It passes my eyes and stuns my senses 
The outside world flows through these fences 
They let out more than they take in 
They bleed me out and I can’t staunch them 
My mouth lets out more than it takes in 
It leads me out and I can’t help it 
It is nothing but a muscle flexed 
A swirling sea of now and next 

And the world was upside down, inside out 
This whole time 
Going the wrong way, north was inverted 
The directions, the plan, got me turned around 
I was on the right path, but couldn’t feel the ground 

And so started the test, retracing all the steps 
When was the first strike, which dances were learned 
In an ever-changing suit re-tailored with patches 
Of a life blind and careless, popping stitches 
Un-being, un-happening, becoming untangled 
Dulling the edges, and scaling transitions 
Faith is a pattern composed by the wind 
All movement, one movement, it reaches everything 

And the real work is to be it, believe it 
With each new set of eyes and the visions they provide 
Be the taste, the warmth, the measure and the glow 
By embracing it all and then letting it all go 
The real work is never done, and has no clear beginning 
And shows no result, no losing, no winning
