Amani Acres

My back tight like stiff leather hard to loosen
Why has everything gone to shambles?
Too many tears stings the corner of my eyes
I am lost in snow capped mountains of confusion

The Book I must trick myself awesome to behold
Three steps I'm told be like a child
Inside of a nature I don't want to discover
Three tricks later no streets of gold

I wish I were high as a poor street boy
Just free to remain in a dazed dream
Unseen, the ability to worry dies starving
But my mind is no toy so forget that ploy

Someone tells me of Amani Acres I yearn to roam
A pleasant past time four years courting
Confined by illusions please break this gate
For tomorrow I graze ocean's banks alone

I sea my awaited recompense

Forth from the sea froth creeps in stride
Towards where my tracks spell sandy scrapes
A picture of my broken shores
Yet I must wait its healing tides

Whispering secrets the waves of comfort unknown
They speak to me with no words of humanity
Be hushed says they and separate away
So frolic in the grace Amani Acres once shown
