You cannot face too many feelings that you bear
From all sides your reaching hands and sprawling hair
And the sad sigh away through the pain of the day
Exploding into emptiness and decay
You cannot face too many feelings that are trim
From all sides in the lake you learn to swim
Now the feeding starts here; the dreams of the lair
The situation calls for all to stand clear
You cannot face too many feelings unaware
From all sides rows of tailored silvered nails
This forgotten sound I sit cross-legged on the ground
Sense the features of the pattern I found
Clouds wearing oak; flowing tied to dull despair
From all sides a small child cries and melts away
The hour draws near the youthful self is not here
Forced the mind-coloured sound in my ear
You cannot face too many feelings that you bear
