Monolith
Shifting through the courses
Riding bareback through and through
And there everything was, in front of me
But I couldn't raise my arm to grasp my prize
In another memory from long ago
I remember navigating the moss with caution
Creatures left and right, hissing at my person
I never really knew where I had been going
I can recall thousands of fluttering lights
In unison, they taunted and teased
I kept swinging, they continued to flutter
I fell unconscious after a final turn around
The melody that rings from within this awkward shape
Strings can compose and betray, whipping you across the face
Nothing can take away the ability they may contain
The right person finally came along to bring it on out
In the years that have gone by, I've built many a landmark
Scolding in my mind as it burned to the ground
The foundation was rather shoddy to begin with
But all other formats showed me more then enough mistakes
I was swimming through the desert sands
Encountering any and all that resided below
I have my share of souvenirs for you
The first being an eight-foot Komodo Dragon
I was surfing the Las Vegas powerlines
It was an unfortunate fall, right that second
While I glowed, I remembered my childhood wiring
I awoke, and couldn't recall my own mother's name
I was satisfied as I observed the Paris rooftops
Too many broken windows were in my view
I could skip and jet through the entire metropolis
But I'd rather gather the food for a fallen old woman
I've seen things among legendary text
The Vulcan was no match and Medusa froze at my gaze
I've walked a fine line these many days
I feel as if my lifetime wasn't as expendable as others
Every appendage has been sewn back on more then twice
Stitches give me personality and scars can tell stories
Surgery repairs while injury steals a year from your lifespan
Repairs provide a little hope while death is cinematic
Still living, not quite so much kicking
Smiling while rocking back and forth
With a kitten called Chase in my lap
I can stare at the sunset and remember
I've grown fond of napping
My knees ache with the slightest move
There's a lady inside who returns my adoration
And I've never felt more alive.
