I lost my heart
And haven't found a care
I built my arms up - to carry us
(And can't)
I found out how I would fair

This world, this wind
This rounding of homes
Knows nothing of the me now
(I've been)
The boy you used to know

Having built myself around you - now
I know where I have been

Maybe today
My words will change
The face of the earth
And make her smile
Smile again

Remember the time I stopped by your town
Just to sit myself down and think about you?

Where you were
What you meant
What you thought
And if you knew or wanted to know

Of me and where I was
My thoughts or what for me
(rang out eternal and true)

No, in retrospect
I remember the time I went to your town
I remember it now and yet you never knew
Thanks for the song, but yo. You will not live forever in me.

There is a life beyond life
a mere glimmer in the dark. And for me
it can be seen
(sometimes) in my 3 A.M. eyes.
I quote artists wayyyyyy to much.

"Drivin' north bound, drivin' homeward, drivin wind is drivin' me."

The most beautiful light
Is the bounding brightness
Which leaps off of perfect snow
And catches high in the ceiling eyes alive

Such a vision will be forever alive in me.

See this?
Reflective snow makes the afternoons glow with beauty.

Don't let the loudest voice be only
A demanding cause
Or you'll walk to falter instead

But balance all harshness with evenness and grace

Incarnate, the limits you put on yourself
Are all just you
Are all just injustices in your head
Sometimes the loudest thing sounding out in your head, is just you. Most of the time it is. Or so I find.

These notes were just abandoned pages, until I took them in and they adopted my thoughts. My name as their own.
