Hand Gestures

Hand gestures caress the skyline with fiery love
Rapid cessation of being that watches itself flow homeward
Jesus loves the little children and God hates a coward
Balloons fly to the sky with little messages taped to the tail
"Jesus, I've been baptized; send cookies!"
I heard that people thought I had died
I heard that people thought I was crying
No; not dead, not dying
Not hurt, no crying
Just my hand gestures that caress the skyline with a fiery love

Stars in my eyes on a valium high
Retreat in to myself as the world passed by
Not a hint of my scars to the naked eye
Just a puncture wound and a heavy sigh
Slow motion function waiting to bleed
From wounds in my eyes trying to recede
And all the pain passed in what I read
So, I look to the earth as I plead
