1461

It's all just days and days
Adding up to one last year
It's all an ongoing attempt 
To find ourselves right here

Here where life shifts
And new things unfold 
Here with deep breaths 
And your hand to hold

What's there to say now
In the middle space we are in
On the edge of a lifetime 
Just waiting for it to begin 

The path forward is set 
All that's left are details 
And compared to your eyes
Still every word pales 

So I'll try to draw on moonlight 
Pale and serene 
To convey something more than
Words could ever mean 

For a light with no burn 
That shines through the rain
And glides through the dark
Is like a love with no pain 

We've felt it on our fingers 
And there's nothing I'd rather do
Than continue learning
How to hold the moonlight with you

That Much Brighter

Wringing out these dripping days
Rain pounding on my head
Icicles may form here
Trickling down from all we've said 

Ignited in a moment
Ne'er to be seen again
Gliding towards understanding  
Lost inside oblivion 
Endeavoring to return to when -

The stars shown that much brighter 
The night was soft and cool
Eternity felt closer
Rushing on like such a fool 

Stay within this moment 
Turn it over in your mind
Offering no resolution 
My thoughts all fall behind
Yearning for when the stars all aligned 

Satisfy this last desire 
Entwined with every plight 
Lost amidst this churning chaos 
Find yourself out in the light

Condensation

Summer heat may melt away
Each thought crossing my mind
All dripping from my fingers
Running far behind

Catch them for a moment
Hold still for but a breath
Inch your way towards understanding
Negate one burning death

Go forth to find where
Frost glistens and gleams
Over snow and ice
Rustling between my dreams

Searching for perfection 
Not to be found between my ears
Out amidst this condensation  
Wash away these dripping years

Let winter cold solidify 
All the thoughts within my mind
Narrowing the endless search
Down to something we can find

Here We Are

Here we are
Under swaying skies
Over grass and dew
Between me and you
Let us take a moment
To breathe in calm
And exhale strain
To soak in rain

Here we are 
With anxious heart
And scattered mind
All to find
Where lights dance
And colors merge
Where thought crowds 
And soaks in clouds 

Here we are
Under forgotten stars
Over rock and sea
Between you and me
Let us give a moment
To the passing years
To all we've done
Soaking in sun

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
