Not asking why, but not

Not asking why, but not

Surrendering the cause

To have found a clearing

Not solving Life, a pause

In this moment, surely

Passing time will erase

I can feel my breathing

And I can sense my place

The sunlight through my door

The sunlight through my door

Moves slowly on the floor

And soon will be no more

I love you in this day

The hardships we’re facing

It seems like we’re racing

And the World’s erasing

The sunlight never stays

Barely moving inches

Barely moving inches

With miles of hills to go

I can’t see my future

As if my eyes were closed

So here I am dreaming

Up in the atmosphere

Where hawks fly in circles

My path becomes more clear

Nothing particular

Nothing particular

It’s just another day

Skyscrapers now empty

Their people on their way

And there is no new news

It is now half past eight

Cardinals are calling

Hurry, it’s getting late

If I had the answers

If I had the answers

Would I write them in stone

Would I use word of mouth

State them in a poem

Would the World understand

Would people call them lies

Would they celebrate Truth

Or just keep asking why

Unlikely destiny

Unlikely destiny

Unfortunate distance

An uprooted sapling

That met with resistance

Here’s a great blue heron

My inland albatross

Ribbons of road for me

And miles of land to cross

And Carl's fog is here (Variation)

And Carl’s fog is here

I ask myself the why’s

For I only think of you

That graces us then dies

And photographs from space

Bring awe of great, but not

How small we are, like fog

That’s here and then forgot
