Shelter From The Storm

‘Twas in another lifetime, one of toil and blood
When blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud
I came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form
“Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm”

And if I pass this way again, you can rest assured
I’ll always do my best for her, on that I give my word
In a world of steel eyed death and men who are fighting to be warm
“Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm”

Not a word was spoke between us, there was little risk involved
Everything up to that point had been left unresolved
Try imagining a place where it’s always safe and warm
“Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm”

I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail
Poisoned in the bushes an’ blown out on the trail
Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn
“Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm”

Suddenly I turned around and she was standin’ there
With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns
“Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm”

Now there’s a wall between us, somethin’ there’s been lost
I took too much for granted, got my signals crossed
Just to think that it all began on a long-forgotten morn
“Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm”

Well, the deputy walks on hard nails and the preacher rides a mount
But nothing really matters much, it’s doom alone that counts
And the one eyed undertaker, he blows a futile horn
“Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm”

I’ve heard newborn babies wailin’ like a mournin’ dove
And old men with broken teeth stranded without love
Do I understand your question, man, is it hopeless and forlorn?
“Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm”

In a little hilltop village, they gambled for my clothes
I bargained for salvation an’ they gave me a lethal dose
I offered up my innocence and got repaid with scorn
“Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm”

Well, I’m livin’ in a foreign country but I’m bound to cross the line
Beauty walks a razor’s edge, someday I’ll make it mine
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born
“Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm”

And.Here.We.Go.

New Years Resolutions

In no particular order:

  • Resolution number one: obviously, will lose twenty pounds. Number two: will find nice sensible partner and not continue to form romantic attachments to alcoholics, workaholics, peeping-toms, megalomaniacs, emotional fuckwits or perverts.
  • O.K enough from stealing from other people.  I do need to go to the gym or do yoga or tai chi or find some kind of physical activity besides my commute to work and walking out the house with Colby to get the mail and back.
  • Will beat one video game this year besides No Man’s Sky; which hopefully I’m close to getting to the end
  • Continue to organize my photos and music collection
  • Organize my contact list
  • Complete the Goodreads reading challenge.  It says that I only read six, but it did not register the three books I read on the Indonesia trip.  But really, I should be able to read 12 books in a year.
  • Get the aquarium/garden set up and working.
  • DIY bed headboard from Ikea bookshelf
  • Organize garage
  • Do yard work and fix stuff around the house
  • Go to sleep at a reasonable hour and not stay up on my phone or laptop.
  • Take a trip to East Coast to see relative
  • Take a trip to California to see friends
  • Seriously look at looking for a new/2nd job closer to home
  • No new books, only books to finish collections
  • Reduce masturbation
  • Go somewhere new once a month
  • Cut back on going out to eat
  • Cut down coffee to 8oz drinks
  • Write letters/Send cards out to people
  • Reduce buying random gifts to send to people to make yourself feel better
  • Learn to love myself
  • Take $600 test to find out what I should do with myself
  • Continue to look for Amber Wilson
  • No new pens
  • Cook at home
  • Blog more often; less test/quizzes/memes

Think that’s enough broken dreams and promises for the upcoming year.

To sit in the back with a black man or go outside in the cold to the 2nd level…

I think we know how this tale ends. 

New Years Day Snow.
