"I have climbed the highest mountain 
I have sailed across the sea
I have wrestled with my demons
and woke up with only me
I have been around the block
three times maybe four
 and I think I deserve just a little more"


~ Melissa Etheridge ~






and sometimes I wonder why I push myself, why I don't sleep... and time passes and music flashes through my mind to tease me wth hints sometimes... and even in the deepest void of the unknown I can hear the haunting refrain of something passing through my inner ears as I slip deeper into sleepless wonder... and then I remember Melissa Etheridge's Dance Without Sleeping and how so many of her songs mve me, screaming or begging me to wake up and feel the physical world again... and tonight as I push passed yet another sleepless night sitting here with this laptop and VH1 on in the background, nodding in and out of consciousness I listen through a hot sweaty fog, like a film reflection of my own long lonely journey between relationships only to hear the very same Melissa herself singing I Want To Be In Love...

and ever so soon after, as I am falling over because I've been awake at least twenty hours beyond sane after working the full weekend marathon, Dave Mathews sings The Space Between followed immediately by Lighthouse doing Hanging By A Moment and music demands my attention, dragging me by the fingertips out of sleep and back into consciousness so I can type these words (and I wonder what shall pour out of me now as I turn to rhyme)...

I lay this body down
lay to waste some time
hiding in my sorrow
drowning in my fears
calling it a pennence
or promises to keep
giving up a few years
letting my heart sleep

it's called recovery
in my discovery
I plead guilty to the crime
of licking my wounds
waiting in lonely rooms
maybe it's not wasted time

I gave it everything
unconditional love
unconditional trust
and all I dream of
left myself with nothing
and when it was gone
I wanted to die
but somehow I live on

it's called recovery
in my discovery
I plead guilty to the crime
of licking my wounds
waiting in lonely rooms
maybe it's not wasted time

for through the darkest hours
of the most barren nights
when there was no reason
to want the morning lights
something kept me going
deeper than the scars
words can not explain
the meaning of stars

and it's happened before
after sufficient time
I want to try again
ready for a new rhyme
and the past becomes a picture
the time a noble monument
to what I will give for love
not just what true love meant
but what it means
it fuels the dreams
that kept me alive
and now I survive
and it's happened before
after sufficient time
I want to try again
ready for a new rhyme

it's called recovery
in my discovery
I plead guilty to the crime
of licking my wounds
waiting in lonely rooms
maybe it's not wasted time

now I wake to a whole new world
daring me to fall again
and I want to fall again
oh how I want to fall in love again
the knot inside is unfurled
my arms wide open again
my heart wide open again
oh how I want to fall in love
again

it's called recovery
in my discovery
I plead guilty to the crime
of healing my wounds
coming out of lonely rooms
yes it wasn't really wasted time

for now I wake up to a whole new dream
daring me to fall again
and I want to fall again
oh how I want to fall in love again
the knot inside is unfurled
my arms wide open again
my heart wide open again
oh how I want to fall in love
waking up
I want to fall in love
dreaming of
I want to fall in love
feeling oh
how I want to fall in love
again

and it's amazing... g'nite

and as I type g'nite, Train comes on with Drops Of Jupiter... feel the chills?

shhhhh, I'll be back J
