Moving forward
Looking back.
I can't believe how much time has passed.
I can't imagine how much time is yet to come.
It's eons of darkness,
Flashes of light.
When I come a star I will burn so bright.
When I come a star I'll burn brighter than the sun.
Tomorrow's coming up behind you.
Let it be, let it be.
Mattress of lies,
Blanket of truth.
I know I'm right but I don't have the proof.
I knot I'm right but how could I ever tell you?
So I live in the shadows,
Pray to the light.
When I come a star I will burn so bright.
When I come a star I will shine brighter than the moon.
And you were the one who told me I was supposed to re-write the story of glories unsung.
So I tore out the pages that warned of the dangers of a life lived in service to a dying sun.
I scribbled the riddles my grandfather taught me, he wrote them in blood on the backs of my eyes.
I buried that book a mile below me and out in the front yard the trees reached for the sky.
