this.

Posted on November 3, 2009

this is my song for today.

this version particularly.

it’s been a HELL of day.

Work insanity. Cam sick.

I think headless chickens have a better chance of walking straight with a blindfold on, than I did today.

And at midnight, when I am talking to a good friend.

After being loved and supported through the insanity of the day by good friends…

I am left listening to this.

I want you to listen to this too.

Because now…

Now I am okay.

Thank you.

So much.

incomplete – a.n.m.

One day I’ll find relief
I’ll be arrived
And I’ll be friend to my friends who know how to be friends
One day I’ll be at peace
I’ll be enlightened and I’ll be married with children and maybe adopt
One day I will be healed
I will gather my wounds forge the end of tragic comedy

I have been running so sweaty my whole life
Urgent for a finish line
And I have been missing the rapture this whole time of being forever incomplete

One day my mind will retreat
And I’ll know God
And I’ll be constantly one with her night dusk and day
One day I’ll be secure
Like the women I see on their thirtieth anniversaries

I have been running so sweaty my whole life
Urgent for a finish line
And I have been missing the rapture this whole time of being forever incomplete

Ever unfolding
Ever expanding
Ever adventurous
And torturous
And never done

One day I will speak freely
I’ll be less afraid
And measured outside of my poems and lyrics and art
One day I will be faith-filled
I’ll be trusting and spacious authentic and grounded and home

I have been running so sweaty my whole life
Urgent for a finish line
And I have been missing the rapture this whole time of being forever incomplete

    Sometimes I wonder if I *want* to be complete…

    I mean, where’s the fun in that?

    There’ll be no more need for midnight phonecalls or whine (or even wine) or blogging or twitter…
