Childhood prideful possession.

I am blooming late:
Dreams from youth now realized.
I suppose it's fate.

My groping hand shoved
Away once more from delight--
Supple joys denied.

Sunlight streaming down,
Gentle breeze disturbs new leaves,
Spring's awakenings.

Roasting on one side,
Freezing on the other side:
The joy of campfires.

Derps march past my room;
Ev'ry night they haunt my dreams,
Dim fears seeming true.

I promised you the world again

I played this one fairly straight. It still sounds a lot like the raw 30 second idea I recorded on my phone in an elevator in Chicago in early Feb of 2010 and discovered this RPM season. It's not about what you think it is.

This song sounds like a lonely road by the beach in the late summer/early fall. Try it out when the weather is cooperating with you. Then, reflect on who you are.

A song to get up and dance to, much like you get and dance when someone whose loudly voiced opinions you don't share is sent packing. Narcissism and hero worship have no place in a civilized world. ;)
