Burnt Almonds
Notes of life
Notes of burnt almonds
Scrawled for eternity
Lost in modernity
I wonder
What with all we have
A world at our fingertips
How bewildered we’ve become

Notes of life
Notes of burnt almonds
Scrawled for eternity
Lost in modernity
I wonder
What with all we have
A world at our fingertips
How bewildered we’ve become

Do you feel them?
Those brilliant colors
Those sights…
Those sounds…
They move through us
As we rock, from side to side
It’s like last time
When we felt the current,
pulse through our lives

I hang on my cliff of dreams
My hands bleed
As the clouds drift by
My heart hangs by a thread
It beats
It reminds me to pull
To lift myself up
To kick my heels
To fight; to live

I flew for miles
I passed a vast sea of seconds
I paused
I appeared in the mirror
Upon the same wave
Unchanged
I marveled
As I remained the same
Like a mountain
I stood still

I have seconds
Less than
To capture you
To show you
To move you
To be you
To be us
Another time
