I.
When Father time forgets,
Let me run to that tree
Where my brothers used to cry
So that I may hang my sullen feet
Up in her endless arms
And view the world as it is--
The orange sky below,
The lazy earth above,
While the horizon remains
As unmoving and unfeeling
As the futility of my reach.
II.
I can no longer blame
You for saying things
That you say for we are
Like mirrors, bouncing off
Each other, while our
Shards--they fall to the
Unfathomable ocean below.
One, but not the same.
III.
My guitar has six strings
But I only have four lives
One for Mother Land,
One for the Father,
And another for myself.
The last one--lost
In the blindness
Of your affection.
IV.
The quiet dusk retires
While the eager dawn awakens.
Time to heal wounds of love.
Time to patch up broken ties.
Time to say unspoken things.
Time to move on.
