Speaking Confidentially

Speaking confidentially

The fire that burnt inside of me

Has turned to ash the tortured tree

That grows beside the anguished seaSpeaking confidentiallySpeaking metaphorically

The earth I trust beneath my feet

Is moving now ever so slightly

I shift my feet but feel no reliefSpeaking metaphoricallySpeaking hypothetically

If the air you breathe was so unique

Would you use it up to idly speak

Or horde it for a rainy weekSpeaking hypotheticallySpeaking kind of cryptically

The sea that raged beside the tree

Burning bright for all to see

It just might mean the most to meSpeaking kind of crypticallySpeaking confidentially

The fire that burnt inside of me

Has turned to ash the tortured tree

That grows beside the anguishedSpeaking confidentially
