    WITHOUT WORDS(WITHOUT A SONG)

    Light

    His work permit expired

    it was time 2 leave paradise

    he took with him

    an apple slice

    and a cup of juice

    he thought about the truce

    he had made with the muse

    and wondered if anyone on earth 

    could use

    a man without words

    separated from song

    where do i belong

    he asked 2 wordless skies

    as a scroll of his

    past sins and lies

    were written in the clouds

    once

    he was so very proud

    of the platitudes he received

    now he was very much aware

    of how much the snake deceives

    he walked briskly

    as the gates of heaven opened slowly

    he bowed 

    2 the houses of the holy

    sepulchre and thorny crown

    nothing profound

    no more great speeches left 2 recite

    just an endless night

    and a man without words

    separated from his song

    where did i go wrong

    he asked the vastness of empty space

    took a swig of juice

    and savored the taste

    he thought

    how many men are blessed 

    2 even work a day in paradise

    even when locked in

    an inespacable vice

    of a life

    owned by the muse

    maybe it was all a ruse

    he thought cynically

    and the only true friends

    are those never meant 2 be

    he was startled as he witnessed

    jesus and the prophet muhammad

    in a brotherly embrace

    ah but he must chase

    away the inspiration

    4 upon being  sentenced 

    2 the guilt of eternal damnation

    he must return 2 earth

    4 eternity

    and remain a man without words

    forever

    separated from his song
