Broken Vessels

You drop a glass onto the floor
You gotta pick up the pieces
The damage has been done
But a broken vessel changes shape

I crossed a desert of broken glass
Oh, the glass turned back into sand
I spent a week tryin' to get a drink
Only holding water in my hand

Transparent, translucent, opaque
No matter what the make
When hearts are torn apart they don't change shape

Well, I invite the insight of the spirit inside of me
Whisper what I don't know
You are without end, flowing flower, flowing forever
You are a flower of eternal energy
A sweet pulsing dance of unpredictability
Rhythmic, with elusive power

I face the nakedness of the empty unknown
It's a zone that I inhabit when I have no home to hold me
And the cloud cover overhead dissipates to reveal the stars
And the stars are breathing fire from the infinite depth of space
And pathways on the earth start to feel constricted
And possibilities upon possibilities reveal themselves and disappear

I invite the insight of impulsive permutations
Whisper what I don't know
You trust your lust for the wildlife
Live unfettered by obfuscation
Unchain all truths that you may encounter
In the darkness of the night
In the brightness of the day

Love is a power that envelops as it penetrates
