A Cabin in Lake Tahoe

I

Relief comes We wash away what madness Has caught across our mind like so many cob webs We mistake for a thought Which feels remarkably similar To another feeling that's been having us All sure of ourselves And angry Often at those who love us the hardest

It's funny like that The way we mistake what nets have been left From the spiders crawling across our skull For the feeling of madness An anger aimed at who's left loving you After all the spiders are gone

II

In a moment of relief Even the most fleeting I clear the cob webs from my mind And I'm suddenly struck by the overwhelming and urgent desire to buy flowers For my partner Who loves me the hardest And who I have been And maybe still am Angry at Hurt by Wanting more love from Totally in love with Want to buy flowers for and move to a cabin in Lake Tahoe and live and love there and cuddle forever.

We should be wary of mistaking our madness for anger And spider webs for thoughts And those who love us With what spiders still rattle around in our skull When we've been having a tough week Or tough month Or tough life Love is easy to find yourself angry at When it just can't be enough To clear your mind And heal your hurt But love can get you to a cabin in Lake Tahoe And a cabin in Lake Tahoe is a great a way To clear some cob webs
