Adrift
Days become seconds gone by
I keep pace to the rhythm of the pendulum swaying in my head
My thoughts fall in line with the cadence of its voice
As darkness and light trade places in a continuous motion
Cradling my soul in different ways
Each waiting for the other to release
Open arms greet reflections from above
Strangely brings warmth in the cold of night
Pathways illuminate before each step
Closing the gap between you and I
Outstretched hands
Lift my sights upwards
Everyone has gone someplace
Someplace I want to go
.
Years spending my heart to find life
Spending my life to find my heart
I hear a calling from home
Watch me away when I go
.
Lay down beside me until the morning rain
Save me this moment, a gift
Never knew I was lost til now
Only discovering the feeling from being found
.
Golden embers emit drops that search for the sky
Lanterns at midnight, cut through darkness, seeking truth and love
Fireflies circle above, scattering at the sound of your voice
Doors opening slowly, light seeping in
A surrounding haze
Embracing the grey
Compressed memories tattooed under the skin
Years of thickened layers breathe
Yet sunshine seeps in, regardless
Shining a light on the forgotten
Discovering warmth among the fog
Puréed senses spin, visions become a blur
Slow cooked handprints, deep in the sand, imprints seeking the core
Marinated memories, flavored interpretations changing by the moment
Whiskey chaser, troubled thoughts no more
