Bb
The world was frozen 
Am
I left the studio 
Dm
Night had fallen
F
The Storm had cleared
Bb                         C                 F
The whole town had been abandoned except for me. 
F   C            Bb
I walked home beholding. 

The lights in the park 
The moving trees 
The silent corners 
The world's new cloak 
A final breath of storm blows snowdrifts in the street 
then blows away over the water. 

On an island 
across from town 
Isolated 
Close and alone 
Looking across the water seeing people slowly living all their lives. 
This is the feeling from inside an island body 
(Looking out from inside a sea of thoughts, distant and quiet.) 

Tossed on the waves 
blown onto land 
Grasping meaning 
in churning mess 
A moment of clear air breathing, seeing the expanse. 
Totally at peace with the meaninglessness of living. 

Drifting in a changing world 
alone 
Reaching for a solid thing 
in vain 
The stone dissolves in the same wind I swim through. 
Where I live there is a constant roaring. 

Bottomless absence 
through a cloud hole 
The sky was moving 
I saw it drift 
Seeing breathing waves of water roll in the sky. 
The wind has increased.
