When you walk between points
See the symmetry
In yourself and note how hard it is
To heave away from yesterday
Relish in what is and recall the way in which
You loved
Every morsel of the minutes you remark
The echo so tangible
You hear the scream and turn to make sense of
Why you had to go
Though leaving is returning
You will tomorrow seek your wealth
And as all in riches find
Decisions bind you
Such that health of mind
Lifts the switch you left behind
The feel of another breeds comparison and trust
And lust will define you in time
As all made by man is oft to do
Though who and how is set in two
Beyond the meaning of that word
The one that leads once evening ends
Friends that borrow, those that beg
And by the leg, they drag and crow
For something else they need to know
If you lend this fine advice
Your lantern will be lost unto
The icy marrow, vice of victory
Held up high and hanging low
The light will lead your head
And show all others that seconds speak
Of how we gamble at each spin
For the only way to win
Is to open up
So carry these words to all you see
Summon them round the table green
Light the stars that might have been
Before the final seconds pass
Close your eyes and think of me
