Compound Red

it gets so black as i close my eyes and fall to sleep.
nice hands, cool feet, these sidewalks lead me
through this broken path.
a kind old man taught me how to walk he said
"one foot in front of the other my friend.
don't go too far and don't walk too fast
i think you'll find that there is no end to this path.
it's all in what you make it" he said as he turned and left.
journey through a dreamlife as i pretend to know.
