You'll walk forever
The same way as the earth spins
And it always wins
You take a deep breath
No savouring oxygen
All is harvested
The light draws closer
Aurora ever nearer
And never so bright
Endlessly. Patiently. For distant sanctuary.
Don't wait til you're blind to bathe
In incandescent rays
Til your body's not what it was
And you squint so hard
Don't wait til you're blind to bathe
In incandescent rays
A lifetime chasing peace
And you're on your knees
You're always watching
The world pass by your window
In sepia tones
If you stare too long
You'll have to wait a lifetime
Until your knees creak
Blisters heal. Start again. And just accept the pain.
