~ Numbers ~ (Destind to Fly)

 

As a child I hid under the kitchen table

when the strong winds came

fives and nines, nines and fives

 

Afraid the change would sweep me away

to a land where there is no terrible OZ.

I didn't like the way the house trembled

or how the lights flashed away

leaving only darkness

and a spinning creature outside

that I could not see.

nines and fives, fives and nines

 

The crows do not laugh

They speak in numbers.

The same numbers I see on license plates

not added together

but one with the other

nine and five

the voice of change

the spiritual breeze of tomorrow.

I see the numbers in the clouds.

I feel them chill my bones.

Fives and nines, nines and fives

 

But do I cower in my silent prison?

My ignorant world of denial?

Or do I rise and meet the crashing tempest?

Stand in the blasting wind

and allow the cleansing torrent to wash over me?

Nines and fives, fives and nines

 

Today it pushes me forward

as I listen to the voice within.

There is no monster to fear,

only numbers

nines and fives

the death of today that brings

the luxuriant fragrance

found only beyond the change.
