Missed the Truth
Cats got my tongue tells nine lives just a tale
Caught skimming the surface for depth to inhale
Silenced in the wake of an avalanche's detail
Missed the truth in my search for the holy grail
===========================
Youth vaporized in a frozen atmospheric trail
Exhaled warm fog lost to the frigid Fahrenheit scale
Meaningless moments cascade into porous shale
Missed the truth in my search for the holy grail
====================================
Invisible ink drew a phantom friends thin veil
Ghostly silhouettes cast faint shadows on the pale
Should've seen the vampire in the absence of avail
Missed the truth in my search for the holy grail
====================================
Runaway walk to reality went solo to ride the rail
Saw my father in a visit that transcended past frail
Beyond earthbound ties he crossed the unknown dale
Whispered the truth in my search for the holy grail
====================================
Lost my way in the chaotic confound of aphasia's derail
Walked out of the forest reborn to know eternities hale
Each soul a prophet surrenders earth to human fail
Whispering truth to see the beauty in the holy grail
======================================
