Let the light come shuddering through

Let the light come shuddering through
Thought about her once, but never enough
Acted out blindy when given a que
Spoke out too freely, broke some sort of made-up rule:

Trust Nothing
And Nothing Will Trust In You

Heading up 196 trying to make myself,
Make myself as blank as a clean slate
Pull to the left hand side,
Try to pull these thoughts behind

Just keep repeating this line,
this rule, this survivors guide to life:

Trust Nothing
And Surely Nothing Will Trust In You

But there is to much slush
Brain and steering wheel rivet to the left
Then with Godspeed to the right
This is it, I cautioned to myself
Slow motion roller-coaser into the deep bank

Trust Nothing
And Truly Nothing Will Trust In You

-----

And this is what He said
As I went with Godspeed to the right:

Trust the snow to slow your fall
Trust your old, worried car to collapse
So that you might last
Trust the trees for directing your path
Trust a welcoming stranger to pull you out of this mess
Trust a family who gives you smiles and a warm coat

Trust in Lee's towing service,
in your worried family
Trust in technology, cell phones,
and friends,
Trust simply in people,
Trust that help is on the way

-----

You know your car is a little messed up
When you can stand straight up in it
Whithout having to hunch

But you can stand up
Yes you can stand up
You are completely OK
And so is everyone else

Today is the day the light came shuddering through,
My windows so suddenly, so suddenly
They shattered through and through
And through out that empty, made-up rule

Writing this on my slate,
that I so desperately wanted to be blank:

Trust in Something or Nothing,
The choice is up to you
But either way, no matter how sad the day
You can trust in absolutely nothing
But, you can't help it
when something trusts in you

So put the trust in you
Act out blindly sometimes,
Dance and hold hands a little
Speak out too freely sometimes,
Share jokes and get light-minded a little
And Put some trust in you
Even if it is just a little
