I tell myself to try not to let fear rule the roost, To keep a lid on my ramblings To talk to the child of God beside me Help him smile with me The present situation has something to teach me That mournful moan for more morphine from the man The man behind the curtain in the bed beside me Is letting me know that there are depths and degrees To which I have not yet descended fortunately. Fortunately I can feel, all has not been numbed And the mind has not succumbed to oblivion with Orpheus. Yet wants to join the wild ramblings of the tinker within And raise the curtain with the nurses to the sound of Orpheus in der Underwelt the meandering sounds of exploration From Jacques Offenbach stopping the heart in anticipation of Rising excitement, innocence into devilmaycarement and sensuality As the throb throb sound of freedom crecendoing into abandonment of CAN CAN , music of the soul ascending . As maybe back to life we are coming like a stalk rising towards tomorrow. Nurses nurses nurses are wonderful beings of light,-when they smile.
