If the Face Doesn’t Fit any Longer…
(A Poem Written at the End of the Dark Night of the Soul…around 1979…)
Well I woke up this brand new morning…
and tried to put on my normal face…
it just would not fit any longer…
removed it…put it back in its case…
If the Face doesn’t fit any longer…
take it off…put it back in its case…
then run the race of time much stronger…
as your soul grows beyond time and space…
Then I went to visit with Sage Sooth…
I said…Ally, you know the problem…
now, please tell me what is the plain truth…?
the face don’t fit…as I start to bend…
He said…”Well, my son, I tell you true…”
you may always choose a brand new one…
let it be from the heart…it will do…
and let your new face shine like the sun…”
If the Face doesn’t fit any longer…
take it off…put it back in its case…
then run the race of time much stronger…
as your soul grows beyond time and space…
