Another full circle

Another full circle
I am back at point A
Repeating again but
On a different day

The scenery the same
Like being lost at sea
Like running a lap, how
Can I get to point B

From the spider's new web

From the spider's new web
To the evening firefly
A day in the yellow
Beneath a painted sky

With white clouds expanding
Without shadows or time
Spinning on a plateau
With no valleys or climb

Apart without reason

Apart without reason
Separated by time
The distance grows greater
Like the numbers of prime

If we can’t say hello
Are we bidding adieu
As our parallel lives
Are becoming so skew

Where's the revolution

Where's the revolution
Raised fists in defiance
Can we forge ahead with
Fight and noncompliance

No anger or outrage
We've become complacent
If we don't speak up now
Send in a replacement

Making up for lost time

Making up for lost time
Unable to compose
Situations I can’t
Imagine or suppose

Left with paint by numbers
The mechanics and gears
Nothing original
No new joys just old tears

The dark is just the dark

The dark is just the dark
No doors remain ajar
No movement coming back
No voices from afar

And time is here and now
On the head of a pin
The tip of the needle
This second of the spin

What is left to be said

What is left to be said
The bridge is gone, the hand
Is not reaching out as
Time passes the last sand

Can you hear me shouting
But what does it matter
I speak a language that
Only sounds like chatter
