Speckled Glass

Child-like intense wonder
 Peering through speckled glass
 Inside safe from outside trouble
 Wishing for this moment to last
 Danger lurks beneath this cover
 Threatening all who dare discover that
 Once you step out you've fallen in
 Taken away with the dark
 Interrupted silence leaving gunshot sound in the night
 Blackness cracks, gleaming long lean splinters of light
 Something about the urgency
 Of electrical energy rushing by
 It goes through you, it goes through me
 Impressions bold, sensations high
 Interrupted silence leaving gunshot sound in the night
 Blackness cracks, gleaming long lean splinters of light
 Wide-eyed and running for the door
 Just to see that face once more
 Would give me the shivers all over again
 And just like this storm be unwilling to end
 Then a retreat
 Into the hour of dancing visions
 Curled up
 Into the pillow of sweet dreams
