Dust & Stars

Still the world spins on and on
Oceans turn to steam 
Maybe I could grasp it now
Entrap reality in a dream

Were it but a matter of
Holding it between my hands
Echoing sharper minds than mine
Raining golden sands 

Endeavor to catch the sunlight
Bring it with me throughout the day
Endeavor to feel the moonlight 
Turn it into pretty words to say

Were it but a matter of
Entreating every sky
Extracting no responses
Nor even the softest sigh

During this time of turmoil 
Uncertainty and changing tides
Still grasping at the edges 
Trapped amidst these divides 

And were it but a matter of
Not getting involved 
Damned to sink or swim together 
Solitarily, nothing is solved  

Turn it over in your mind now
Accost the night to greet the dawn 
Reach for something better 
Still the world spins on and on
