one night's sleep
sweep of mind debris
open door to new

imbue the landscape
absorb the possibilities
that lie around the bend
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading

my love is always there
you needn't actually see me
some people call me Maurice
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading
