Check Your Head

A butterfly floats on the breeze of a sun lit day 
As I feel this reality gently fade away 
Riding on a thought to see where it's from 
Gliding through a memory of a time yet to come 
Smoke paints the air 
Swirling images through my mind 
Like a whirlpool spin beginning to unwind 
And I stand at the edge cautiously awaiting 
As time slips by 
Carefully navigating by the stars in the sky 
And I sit 
And I think to myself 
And on the horizon the sun light begins to climb 
And it seems like it's been so long since he shined 
But I'm sure it was only yesterday 


A cold chill of fear cut through me 
I felt my heart contract 
To my mind I brought the image of light 
And I expanded out of it 
My fear was just a shadow 
And then I voice spoke in my head 
And she said dark is not the opposite of light 
It's the absence of light 
And I thought to myself 
She knows what she's talking about 
And for a moment I know 
What it was all about.
