Sing Me Clear

Joni Mitchell and Tori Amos
play concerts just for me
in this raining room
touching the black and white
whole notes of who I am
of where I find myself
singing the words that
are just below my breath
spin me sing me clear
as I live sadly beneath
the cracks of these lines


"I am living a life, i have no wish to live. How did this happen?" Unknown

Like good blues ought to do, this one made me sad and happy at the same time....I think the happy part came from the quality of the poem itself -- very well done.
