Abductee
A fleeting glance across the plain
Murky dark clouds which promise us rain
Sharp bolts of light shooting the sky
Clapping of thunder sounding nearby
Then there's a light, quite some distance away
As it gets closer, "what is it?" you say
Your mind is as cloudy as the thundering skies
Like the feeling you get when someone you know dies
Next you are wandering, all dazed and confused
Your mind is all shoddy, your body is achy and bruised
Your memory is all shoddy, you can't make out why?
Did you see something glowing up there in the sky?
Now you want answers to your thoughts and your dreams
To finally find out what on earth it all means
