An endless amount of sun

An endless amount of sun

On a road that ribbons

Across the curvature

The future is hidden

Past the silent forest

Tall grasses in blonde sand

Lead us to the water

And the end of dry land

Line stretching from south to north

Line stretching from south to north

Sails setting in the west

Blue sky meets blue water

With waves that trough and crest

And blue clouds tipped in white

Are still as tethered boats

On a calm sea of sky
And summer air they float

All the things I have lost

All the things I have lost

Must be in the same place

Somewhere I haven’t looked

All gone without a trace

I know I can’t find them

Entire things and fragments

They’re not made of iron

And I’m not a magnet

Diagonal rain clouds

Diagonal rain clouds

Above the straight corn rows

One yellow butterfly

Amongst the big black crows

I’m in the here and now

But one day, I’ll think then

Of this moment in time

That happened way back when

The moon in the morning

The moon in the morning

Slowly sets in the West

Transparent in daylight

At last it comes to rest

And the stars are long gone

They’re hiding in the blue

The sun is coming up

All perfectly on cue

I turned a corner and

I turned a corner and

Found a new direction

I didn’t know it happened

There was no indication

Out of an accident

I have new ways to see

I look back and wonder

At how this came to be

I wish I had a flare

I wish I had a flare

Or my own flag to wave

To signal that I’m here

Requesting to be saved

I’m counting lonely days

How can my voice be heard

Where there’s no echo from

These silent written words
