this unkind world

how is your head young lady
the moon is on your side tonight
i have known you for thousands of years
traced your form in timelines through space

this unkind world
i fear for my soulfulness
out and about
out and about
this unkind world

your sleep is sick your well is hollow
echoes rotate dreams awake
borders won’t quell all the creatures that hide
just inside the underside of more

where is your head young lady
slow your roll the sun is up
loosen those limbs young lady
leap into the wild
this untamed world

often escape is the only haven
parting ways with ragged emotion
and there you sit between indigo and yellow
reflecting outward no more back and forth

this untamed world
i give into my soulfulness
out and about
out and about
this untamed world

you are your own though your temperament reminds me of him your head is more ripe mango while his was more soft plum my love
