Elvis and Me

Got the key, can't find the lock

Measuring ticks by some other clock


A step out of time


A verse without rhyme


A natural anomaly


Embedded inside of me



Alone, abandoned, adrift


Senseless in pain


Curled fetal on the floor


A lifetime of memories missed


Searching in vain


For points to even the score



Stone smashing heart


Eventually will bleed


Free the soul to start


The healing we all need



First root cracks the diamond-hard shell


Door swings open from out of space


Freeing truth from my soul's own cell


For the first time, face to face


With that oracle, divining staff of energy 


Destroying and birthing simultaneously



Drained and lifeless, now infused


With all I had before refused


Awakening near, no longer on deaf ears landing


The mantra is clear, "Peace, love and understanding!"
