That song you sung as you drove
South towards home, six hours or so
The distance between us stretching
As the road unwound to the night ahead
I knew it by Cindi Lauper, you by Ane Brun
Yet sooner or later that day will come
Where all that you'll see in those same sad eyes
Is a fading rainbow of grey and blue

Your heart to me, so beautifully profound
So oft resembled a puzzled word-search
Where my dreams and reality never collide
Complex and scattered yet meaning within
And how i'd long to find my own name there
Between love and desire across its central core
All this time, there it was but broken in two
Like a fractured rainbow of grey and blue
It's such a strain listening
To the sound of one hand clapping
It wears and tears at the best
And I'm far from that
So, I'll take my tired heart
And empty the rattling contents
Into the nearest ******* bin
Kick a tin can down the street
And await whatever comes next

Silence
At first a void
Then sudden burst of energy
Forces collide
Atoms split and divide
From nothing comes forth something
Radiance breaking free of abyss
Hot gaseous ball coalesces then cools
To form a planetary sphere
Which orbits a citrus giant
Giving off golden light
And warming touch
To embrace a world
And allow the basis for life
All this by chance and happenstance?
All complexity born from
Random motion and chaos?
How vast and unnumbered
The twinkle in the heavens
Yet all alone?
Oh I gaze up at yonder skies
And marvel at wonders
My eyes have never known
