A Riddle With No Answer

© 2011 Mark Cote

Dancing moonrise
pink striped sunrise
the echoes in your mind

crawling up from the wishing well
 with genie secrets I can't tell
'til the walls come crashing down
and the jester wears a frown

(chorus) misted cries
                from the butterfly
                a riddle with no answer

as the clock tumbles in reverse
in a Carol novel you immerse
see the future as it was
the birds that shout a silent buzz

(instrumental)

blind mice racing through a maze
can't see there is no exit

snake oil schemes
aren't what they seem
the jackal will eat you if you fall
and those who run really crawl

(chorus)
