She found meaning in objects
Like Christians with crosses
Believed in their power
Without second thought.

Quilted maps attached with tape
Graph paper parachutes paper the room
The unknown is calling
Through 3 by 5 lens
These books brag the stories
That I’ve yet to live

I've looked at my own palms
And seen the lines of this life fading
Fire, water, earth
All getting swallowed by the air

I've turned to love for grace
But she spat sympathies unholy
Success is but a sunset
When there's no soul with it to share

I've fallen to the ground and begged
The moon to give me courage
Yet that mystic orb just waned
And left me naked like a child

I've searched the maze for truth
Ground my teeth upon the logic
But once I left the cave for light
My place was lost among the wild

I don't know why
These dreams
All seem
To have you leaving me

But honey that's alright
Come morning
This heart
Wakes calling for you

No, I don't know why
Late night
Mind's eye
Has got me grieving

But she's on your side
Lord help me
When I rise
I'm loving you brand new
