Speckled Glass

Child-like intense wonder
Peering through speckled glass
Inside safe from outside trouble
Wishing for this moment to last
Danger lurks beneath this cover
Threatening all who dare discover that
Once you step out you’ve fallen in
Taken away with the dark
Interrupted silence leaving gunshot sound in the night
Blackness cracks, gleaming long lean splinters of light
Something about the urgency
Of electrical energy rushing by
It goes through you, it goes through me
Impressions bold, sensations high
Interrupted silence leaving gunshot sound in the night
Blackness cracks, gleaming long lean splinters of light
Wide-eyed and running for the door
Just to see that face once more
Would give me the shivers all over again
And just like this storm be unwilling to end
Then a retreat
Into the hour of dancing visions
Curled up
Into the pillow of sweet dreams
