Heaven's Fool

Heaven's Fool

Walk into a wall while looking away
Demean yourself in the lies that you say
Cheat an aged half blind old man
You are a fool no defense in your hand

Giving your heart after all the deep hurt
Your glance and your wink is like diamonds in dirt
But you went there again with the smile of a lamb
And you slaughtered again with a touch of your hand

Hold out your fears to another you love
Give all your kindness like angels above
Plant a fire garden with truth and with tears
Forever and ever no fools will you bear

There is honor in innocence
There is grace in your hand
There is peaceful serenity in falling apart

In life we are seen through half closed dead eyes

The beauty we live in our own secret lies
I know you, I've seen you, I've heard your sweet cries
No fool lives within you I'm certain of this

As the child reaches up to the light of your bliss

And you reach out to someone and innocently say
That you love them and want them in passion's soft hay
The fool is the one who you don't understand

You gave him a bounty of jejune de la bland

The entwining of bodies the oneness sans seams
If only the place the time and the night were in sync

With no fool I would live with a smile and a wink

While humming a tune your grace I will drink
