Saline Sand

Like sweet lemonade from sour fruit
Like blood brothers made from pain acute

Sharp sword through my spine cuts me down
So I'm cherishing the time sprawled on the ground

When all the king's horses and all the king's men
All of the testing and West medicine
Can't put me back together again
I'm finding strength in the kindness of friends
With poetry dripping pens
And a rose colored lense
I'm making amends

Healing, healing, healing, healing

Thick fluids leaking down our naked skin
Spikes of pleasure drown from pain within

I went to the desert to burn and expand
To wean myself from my lover's hand
To bathe my skin in the wind and the sand
And burn some art on a scale so grand
As the ashes scattered the land
My salt water ran
Something began...

Healing, healing, healing, healing
Healing, healing, healing, healing

Sometimes hardships come in pairs. It's our job to find the positive in a tough situation. In the wake of a break up, I developed a nerve injury similar to sciatica, causing perpetual sharp pain down one of my legs. Spending many hours a day lying on my back forced me to be alone with my emotions during that raw state of relationship aftermath. “Healing” felt like the theme of that time of my life.
