Suspending disbelief
Twirling starlight in my hand
Reaching for infinity
And a way to understand
Why things never go as planned
Maybe there just aren't enough
Hours in the day
To wrap the world around me
Or collect all of the stray
Thoughts scattered in the fray
Grounding here instead
Feeling sunlight on my skin
Grasping fleeting seconds
Trying to hold on to when
The world wasn't so quick to spin
Perhaps I am just tired
Worn out bones all start to creak
Gather dirt around me
For what else is there to seek
But warm hands to stroke my cheek?
Bury me in waves of
Collisions of matter
Release one more breath now
With a reticent clatter
Succumb to life and watch the air scatter
