To have been the revolution

To have been the revolution
At the top of the crest
Achieving a resolution
Chaos becoming rest

No longer feeling relevant
And finding history
Once charging like an elephant
Now sleeping like a bee

Send this sorrow to bed

Send this sorrow to bed
No longer in my day
Forever in my head
Just send it on its way

Just shed this memory
Let it fall at my feet
Better to discard it
Than in the mind repeat

Time did not ask of us

Time did not ask of us
It left us undisturbed
The days spent in waiting
My heart restrained and curbed

Time did not ask of us
It lay there in slumber
Gave us bright and dark
So we could keep the number

So the light begins to slant

So the light begins to slant
The brightest light is light gold
As the fall starts to advance
The year growing a year old

The time is almost timeless
The white clouds are full in rows
As if the day were mindless
Sparrows casting long shadows

I have been everywhere

I have been everywhere
But my destination
It’s like looking at stars
But not constellations

I have always been on
A singular mission
But here I am pointless
Without definition

It is us who share the moment

It is us who share the moment
As if it were an elephant
And we harbor this passing gift
Though very insignificant

So casual yet full of care
We are mindful of the time spent
Now you are there and I am here
Both of us were destined to went

How wide is the doorway

How wide is the doorway
How big is this door
That opens to the World
That I have ignored

Can I free my word scapes
Set sail on this sea
And through this needle’s eye
Sew the threads of me
