Moon Jam

I went swimming in a black and silent sea
While I was in between
Waking and dreaming
In my mind a knot was gathering
I am afraid of so many things

& I cannot control myself

The water moved around me
Like a cloud of ink
'Til I came upon a lake
The sun has never seen

& I cannot control myself

The fish went wild
Their eyes aglow and seeking heat
Like shards of glass
Fitting on past me in the lake below
Life without a moon and stars
Is no life at all
I am afraid of so many things

I am afraid of so many things
But I do not fear the future
What lies ahead is between
Me and the universe.
