shadows

Been there.  Done that.
Wrote the song.
Sang it on street corners for change.

It's a true song, a blues song
about making plans 
for the fates to rearrange.

I'm not saying it's all been bad,
though I'm certainly tired and sad
so for now, my friends,
I'm back in the shadows again.

Some say the blues 
is illusion
imbalanced expression of mind

I say it's accumulated
disillusionment
from endless trying and crying

Oh to be contained
in delusions'
magical chalice so sweet

No longer a slave to 
battles that 
always seem to end in defeat

I'm not saying it's all been bad,
though I'm certainly tired and sad
so for now, my friends,
I'm back in the shadows again.
