My Early Morning

"Walking Up To You" © 2011 Michael A. Klaus

I wanted my own place as there were things I had to get,
Never thought the path I took would lead me to regret,
I chose myself to walk away, my own life to pursue,
I didn't know I would be walking up to you,

I wanted someone better loveless fantasy pursue,
Though I'd though of everything I hadn't got a clue,
I choose of my own armament although my aim is true,
I didn't know I would be walking up to you.

A system of entitlement my gender should be blessed,
Didn't want to pull my weigh and now I pull it best,
It was my only privilege, to me the pay was due,
I didn't know I would be walking up to you.
[
My business was unfinished in each day an open door,
Waiting for the world to end in rapture sepulcher,
I went my only way because I knew that we were through,
I didn't know I would be walking up to you.

My anger was a blessing although now it's just a slur,
Swept away to dizzy heights inside a social whir,
I made up my own bed and even there I was untrue,
I didn't know I would be walking up to you.

I gave my human rights away and now I want them back,
Suddenly the light of day has turned a glossy black,
I used to sing a happy song and now my song is blue,
I didn't know I would be walking up to you.

I burn my bridges up and even now I must canoe,
(without a paddle)
I didn't know I would be walking up to you.

I burn my bridges up and I am living in a shoe,
(mother goose)
I didn't know I would be walking up to you.


Where did all this come from?  Sumdangdik decided to keep a dream journal. Last night he tried to write in an imaginary version of the journal while he was dreaming. When he woke up the imaginary version of the journal was gone of course, and he had a song running through his head with imaginary music that would not go away. This happened at 3:30 AM! He could not go back to sleep, being haunted by the woman's voice singing the song. And so Sumdangdik arose from bed to write down some of the lyrics to "Walking Up To You" beneath the light of an LED flashlight. He was back in bed by 4:00 AM. His Muse is running on East Coast time, either that or she had to get up really, really early to catch a plane. June 6, 2011.
