I remember a time
before I hid behind
this electric hum.
Consequence walked with innocence,
we told time by the Sun.
I remember your eyes,
they sparkled in the evening light.
Now all I see is unshed tears
and the moment,
like what’s important
dies.
Maybe it’s this cruel world,
maybe it’s our own
anger and indecision
that makes time here
Heaven or Hell?
I don’t know,
if I’m asking questions anymore,
or if there are answers,
I just can’t tell.
So slow it down,
go back to basics.
Fundamentally,
you are you.
I am me
and this world does not require
our understanding,
only our presence.
What we think we think
is just a safety blanket,
so that all we see
doesn’t make us insane.
I remember a time
when I knew nothing.
I had love and trust
and I was okay.
You were the same.
So, let it all go.
Return to dust.
Escape.
We were once
free and only
we can see
ourselves
for who we are.
