That Sweet Sound Calling Me

Kay Redfield Jamison
Has famously said that
"There is a particular kind
Of pain...
Pain. Pain. Pain

Elation.
Elation. Elation. Elation.

Loneliness.
Loneliness. Loneliness. Lonliness.
And terror.

Involved in this kind of
Madness.
Madness. Madness. Madness.

You never knew those
Caves were there."

Often I wonder about
The great beyond
Where no man has gone before
To come back and tell us
Where he has been

That doorway has tempted me
At times I was feeling
In a state eternally
Falling forever

The sight of that sweet mistress
Whispered my name.
Name. Name. Name.

And my weakness has followed
Without even teh moonbeams
At the dead of night

Hope fails to burn at the length
Of a candle

Do I take the final step,
Say goodbye to,
All my earthly troubles
And be gone.
Gone. Gone. Gone.
(Oh. Oh. Yeah.)
(Oh. Oh. Yeah.)
