Another 10 Miles

- Caedmon's Call -



I don't see what you see in me

I'm just flesh and bone

Many hours at the carousel,

Postcards from far from home

Sometimes I feel as useless as my empty words, old

president's dogs, clean paws, no dirt



What do these words mean?

Sometimes I just don't know.

Sometimes I just can't see

where it is I go- I waste

my whole day thinking over

things I've said and avoiding myself

like the plague in my head



I know that you see me and I know

You're about me, that's why You

let me roam

Another 10 miles, another 10 miles, another 10 miles



Where does this all lead, and

why must I follow it?

Nothing is black and white,

(even me, I must admit).

I jot down the facts and work

on consistency, but open up the

closet door; it's George, and

the cat, and me.



My shifting eyes like sands

cannot focus on the void,

concentration still,

"Get thee behind me, Freud."

I'm grasping at straws and

the bale is almost gone;

the fire's grown much too dim,

nights grow much too long-



I am holding things Yours, not mine

while I should cling to You like a

cow beneath the light of a highway sign.
