			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>lost in separation<br />
a caste carbon prisoner of time<br />
drifting on the fringes of <span class="purple">consciousness</span><br />
that bliss i once knew now eludes me<br />
total <span class="red">disillusionment</span> wants me resurrected<br />
i am disconnected, i feel disconnected</p>
<p>you could call me heaven<br />
you could call me <span id="more-264"></span>hell<br />
but what&#8217;s the point?<br />
it&#8217;s all bound by the spell of the <span class="orange">source</span><br />
with no recourse selected<br />
i am <span class="maroon">disconnected</span>, i feel <span class="blue">disconnected</span></p>
<p>rejection on every corner<br />
when all meaning becomes meaningless<br />
where is that deeper <span class="pink">self</span> to bring it back?<br />
where is that inner wealth to carry the slack?<br />
am i sense <span class="green">infected</span><br />
i am disconnected, i feel disconnected</p>

<p>i am a <span class="green">leaf</span> in the wind<br />
my <span class="maroon">home</span> is neither here nor there<br />
but everywhere<br />
i come and go like temperemental snow<br />
caught in the <span class="blue">cycle</span><br />
part of the whole<br />
changing with the seasons<br />
if you truly looked you would see<br />
the life <span class="orange">force</span> that is me<br />
guided by grace, moulded by intelligence<br />
the journey is the mystery<br />
and there i <span id="more-255"></span>find my freedom<br />
not confined in the walls of limitation<br />
free to be.. <span class="pink">to be</span> anything but ordinary</p>
<p>i am a <span class="blue">raindrop</span> in the storm<br />
on the african plains<br />
my source you cannot figure<br />
and where i end up is beyond the mind<br />
the </span class="green">savannah</span> grows<br />
and in the long grass nobody knows<br />
what holds it all together<br />
my hope is set<br />
my fears subside<br />
but still i ride this <span class="purple">unknown</span> course<br />
the spirit pulls magnetically<br />
my reason, my rhyme, no space or time<br />
but simply <span class="red">eternity</span></p>
