Consumed By Wonder
Lyrics and Music by Robert Wynne
© 2001

Hundred Acre Wood
        is dark
is dark
        is closing in
Shadows linger shadows leap
from behind from within
        swirling spectres soundless formless
        timeless ageless seamless screaming
        shifting sliding swirling swooping
down upon me in the closing of the dark
        of the dark
of the dark
        of the Hundred Acre Wood

Alice's Wonderland
        is dark
is dark
        is closing in
Shadows shuffle shadows flee
from below from without
        stalking phantoms mindful prideful
        vengeful willful skillful streaming
        swerving skulking stalking swooping
up behind me in the closing of the dark
        of the dark
of the dark
        of Alice's Wonderland

The Emerald City
        is dark
is dark
        is closing in
Shadows startle shadows fly
from above from withstanding
        creeping spirits spaceless graceless
        endless trendless friendless weeping
        seeping sleeping creeping swooping
from within me in the closing of the dark
        of the dark
of the dark
of the Emerald City

This song was written during a particularly difficult time in my life, and is an attempt to evoke the emotions I was working through at the time as I travelled over some especially dark internal landscapes.
