Howl

Music & Lyrics by Thomas E. Barnes

Howl: at things that go wrong
Howl: anguish head strong
Howl: turn the blame on
Howl: living live out theme songs

Cracks worn in
Deep hard fixed skin
Core rage growls
Best selves lost in this howl
….no angels pointing

Into crazy blue wild horizons
Could be rarified air to die in
Where to end up at peace and brightly
Where I will try to want to be

Howl: saboteur’s blare
Howl: said breathe, step out of howl’s lair

Focus deep, you say
Breathe love in
Listen close
Choose sage voices, hear them most
…and may you find your way

Into crazy blue wild horizons
Could be rarified air to die in
Where to end up at peace and brightly
Where I will try to want to be

Want to

Pick empathy
Get my curious on
Delve, steer, and spring
Choices to make-own-sing

But

Dragged down into dark ugly small spars
Deep down deep down deep inside is are
Lost in the salt of this sea
Wake up get free
…and I’ll be falling

Into crazy blue wild horizons
Could be rarified air to die in
Where to end up at peace and brightly
Where I will try to want to be
