Taking My Time

Taking my time, moving quite slow, going somewhere, where there's no place to go

Thinking my thoughts, free of design, spinning a yarn, knitting a rhyme

Creeping along, barely a pace, gasping for dreams, or maybe a taste

A taste of desire, a spark in the breeze, paying my dues, collecting my fees

Living on scraps, left at the door, after the dance, asking for more

Watching the sky, harboring stars, caressing the moon, the distance is far

The journey is long, the road is untamed, the lovers gone wrong, can't even be named

They left me alone, at the scene of the crime, stopped like a watch after taking my time

Running its course, this ice in my veins, equaled in force by the fire in my brain

Starts like a match, hot white and wild, moves like a cat, runs away from a child

Darts here and there, over and back, without a care, nothing to lack
