I write without words
I write with pictures
I see a web of chaos
Though order isn’t way off

My mind plays catch-up
As my heart sees the strings
It sees the vibrations
Like a guitar’s open ring

I quietly freeze
As my soul searches
For meaning
Between the lines

I rode the wave
What goes down must come up
Pandemics and insurrections aside
Life is a good ride

My family is healthy
My heart is full
I’m not dead yet
I’m set

…and I know
This isn’t as good as it gets

Who do you see?
Do you see me?
In two seconds I’m gone
Living the final dawn

I could be anyone, I could be you
We roll the dice
As luck would have it
We’re alive, and this is it

This is that moment
The only one
The final one
The first-morning sun

I lost a friend today
We meant to meet, but never did
I won’t do that again
I said

When life gets in the way
When time slips away
My heart sinks
My love weeps
I long for another day

If I could stop time
I would spend all my time
I would be your friend
With every moment
A moment that never ends

I plant seeds
I tend my fields
Water is my life

I grow with our world
My spirit flows
While ripples of time move me

Eyes of the world
I’ve never understood
I never knew
I never grew

Now I reach
The brilliant light
I’ll never let go
I’ve grown to this fight
