In The Corners of My Mind

in the corners of my mind
i have found a place to hide
underneath the outer veil
in vital spaces deep and wide

sacred temple soft and frail
where inner light clouds the sun
immortal words caress my ear
angel’s improv just begun

hallowed faces in my eye
what is really left to find
how many mountains must i climb
in the corners of my mind

rooms filled with smoke and fear
where passion wars with those resigned
drunk thoughts i often think
tearful better left behind

in the tavern where i drink
a shot of dreams come an gone
quiet morning crawls the sky
i think it’s time i’m movin on

hallowed faces in my eye
what is really left to find
how many mountains must i climb
in the corners of my mind
