Fragments (13/11/1997)

I communicate in fragments
Between drowning gulps of pain
Calling frantically between the waves
Desperate to hear my name
I stay focused on the tightrope
Being careful not to fall
And occasionally, I throw a hurting glance
In the window of someones soul
Im searching for approval
For an a ssurance that, "your ok"
And in that brief and searching moment
I see they are hurting just the same
i communicate in fragments
Stabbing pain through wounded walls
With a rusty nail, I chip away
To connect with other souls
I communicate in fragments
Though not sometimes as it seems
When i catch the gleam in eyes of joy
That are free to share their dreams
I communicate in fragments
With the eternal lovers gaze
Following in the dark, the sparkling trail
Of fragments of His Grace
