What it means
When You see
These jagged edges
Do You actually feel Them ?
Or have they become the truth of who You are ?
Striving so hard To be something.
Bigger and smaller than Yourself .
And to the Misunderstood people in your life
- You say – “I understand You “
A sweet repose for nanoseconds
and Then it fades back To Reality.
The Truth is like a Boulder in Your heart – It won’t move.
It cuts off the Circulation
and Turns the every vein – blue .
The Truth Can suffocate You.
If You don’t take a moment to breathe.
The Truth is Heavy .
What It means – I mean to say .
Throw it up To the sky …
It’s beyond all realms of comprehension
No matter How hard You have studied Yourself .
Crawled Inside Your mind to stare at each neuron
To Try Try Try is never enough for You .
There must be full repose .
The sustain pedal in on for Good .
Sustain – Remain – Refrain
from The person You could be
is at The tip of frozen fingertips
But You don’t dare Go There.
What it means -
when You get to this fork in the white on white road .
You call on Your depth perception
But It doesn’t come
You call on Your love of Perspective
And it’s True – You have risen – made progress
Life is not a Tunnel anymore .
And your need To Show signs of a healthy pulse
Is No Longer part Of your make up
All the softness in music and words
You Throw them back
To where They came from.
You won’t fake it to make someone else smile …
That’s No longer Your style .
Arms Outreached To Heaven
Giving back The stars You found
Lying on The white on white road .
It’s been a long Time coming
To finally Give It all up To Heaven
Heaven Only Knows .
How could You – a Tiny grain of sand
presume to Know anything .
All You know is what You have put Love Into…
But for some reason – It doesn’t matter anymore .
Because “Have” is past tense .
So what are You Putting Your love into Now?
The Only place that Truly exists .
Your are Putting Your love into these words
However jagged – they may be .
But they are what They are .
It’s Not surrender anymore
It’s Giving Them all Up .
The words and music and intention -
they travel on a Giant white arrow Up .
They may fall down Like Rain one day
But right now it’s all beyond Comprehension .
All Of It .
The broken handshakes of men with cold hands – You don’t feel them
The broken television – it only plays the snow channel
The broken record deal – I don’t think it ever Was For Real
The broken hearts – I don’t think they are mended .
It’s Not all daisies and zebras anymore .
Yes there are moments when Divinity Intervenes
With a Heavy step .
Almost a Thud Like Avalanche sound.
What It means is .
Trust Only what You Know Now
And That’s Not Much ….
But it’s Good To Know ….- Just The now .
Just The Now -
Is Where it all begins .

Enjoyed your write..many great lines, especially in your close. Sadly, phone won’t play song so shall ck it later ~
About the Now ? yep – that’s all i know …….
The song should play on phones – i will check it out on youtube – thanks for reading and listening .
Cxx
Cat,
This music is sweet and pulls me into the moment. I am in awe of people who create music, clothes, art, fabrics, and I truly love this.
With appreciation – Marge
MK ——THANK YOU – NO NEED TO BE IN AWE though ! You know what – if i didn’t write music – well – i wouldn’t be able to get all my stuff out .
it’s kinda perilous sometimes – because it leaves you bare …… but i guess that is what art is – leaves you like the moment you are born …..
music is an addiction – possibly a good one – if addictions can be good ? i dunno …
this is the year to live out loud like my little snowflake says on the side . and if i don’t write—— well ……
i keep myself in a box – I CAN’T IMAGINE THE BOX ANYMORE – ART IS FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION – MAY BE TERRIBLY PAINFUL TO WRITE OR CREATE – BUT IN THE END – BETTER TO SAY WHAT YOU GOTTA SAY ………. ISN’T THAT A SONG ? LOL …..
MUCH LOVE AND IN APPRECIATION OF YOU AS WELL XXC
what it means…
the meaning is never as great as the feeling
description is the icing on the cake
meanings can be a shroud… like a pot bellied pig, what is it, a glutten of an animal?
or a creature/intity bound by its genetics
what is a snow flake, frozen water… or a tear from heaven entering this cold world?
perspectives in the eye of the beholder… or from the heart that feels something…
your song…sadness in threes (music and words) awesome…tranquil… and felt!
simply beautiful!
(*_*) Art~
one more thing… the thing about a star * it is always surrounded by darkness! and yet it shines brightly!
WHAT IS A SNOW FLAKE ? WHAT IS THE MEANING OF A SNOW FLAKE ? ART – TO ME – IT MEANS INDIVIDUALITY – ALWAYS 6 POINTS – BUT NONE ARE THE SAME .
LIKE HUMAN BEINGS – ALL THE SAME – YET UNIQUE ….
SYMBOLISM HELPS EXPLAIN THE MEANING ….
LIKE WHAT YOU SAID – PERSPECTIVE …..
We all choose our symbols and own words because of our cumulative experiences – right ?
so the meaning is to focus on the now – and pulling back from all that is not NOW – or the future ……
The NOW may be pretty or sad or depressing or haunting – depends on what eye or ear is listening or reading .
That’s my definition of the meaning …….
blessings always to You and Yours …..
Understanding or trying to understand between human beings is a wonderful gift – i have always believed this . In tHe past And in THe NOW ! …… will always believe that True understanding – between people – nations – faiths – sexes – ways of being -
will sooner or later – “Tipping Point ” style bring more Tolerance and less armour in this world …..
sorry for The lengthy response – but guys – in a good way – challenge me – to think out of my perspective –
which honestly – is really one way right now ….
to be honest – to be true – it’s kinda one way for me these days …… and You guys – challenge me ———
Thank You so much …..
much love >< C
