Leaving New Orleans
It took some time, but he untangled himself
from the past
And in so doing, he had discovered his voice
All the things that he wanted to say
and all the things
that he wanted to do
were now, at the very tip of his fingers
Leaving her
was only a small part of it now
It was a big world
and the door to his future was wide open
The whole world and his future
were there
just waiting for him to find it
All he had to do now, was go through the door
The theory it seemed, was beautifully simple
His whole life
he had always longed for simple
Just flesh out the points
and draw
the lines connecting them
That was all he had to do
And the rest, it seemed
would
take care of itself
