Cynthia Alexander Walk Down The Road
walked the streets today mindless
of the way I argued with my feet
wanted to go this way but
went that way fate
had me in its grip
& by chance & grace both
I wonder
why I suddenly looked up
& in your deep, deep eyes
saw the Smile of all Smiles
in my naked wanderings I thought
I heard you whisper my name
there you are soft and slumbered
and cradled in her arms
well I try to understand why
you set me free
was it love or insecurity you let me be
I walk down the road, I
look up at the sky
now I know why
now I know why
reasoning has conquered me
I can't and won't deny the fact
my heart beats a special drummm
only for you
but I'm glad to be on my own
I have never been this free
from all suspicion and the pain
grown year upon year
give me
s p a c e
give me
t I m e
don't lose yourself
in a n y o n e
water rushes down my back down
the water runs walking in the rain
then seemed beyond conception
I've never been so alive
so much in love with life
and from the gray, gray sky
fell the Tear of all Tears
