Ten fires burn In the distance. A man looks behind himself Before he turns. Nights fortitude Mixes With love. We Forget. Forefathers Of way-senders, Sifting through old boxes Of tin made smiles and Mis-matched fortunes. A letter rests on the nightstand. It rests near The fountain. We were always so far away. Like a distant lake. Like a mountain. When the lights Are turned out and the dripping Ceases From its Spout, Think of me when you are with he. There is no other place I'd rather be But in-between thoughts Of joy and Misery. A candle for The Hour. A light for The Minute. Only in the flame Do we know We are truly in And living in Time. I've attached Every thought I've Had To Electronic Dream Weavers. I've got no more Strength To give, yet I hear A whisper. Another attention getter. Another bidder. Another hitter. Wake for her. Wake for you. Wake for her And you Together. Intertwined In wine Covered in needles of Aged' thyme. The grass on the field Is Green. No, don't Deny it. I'm weary of stasis. It's a bird Upon my shelf. I'm out of mind. I'm out of places. One more time I look at he and he Looks at me. We Whistle Through the threshold of this Modern Day, all the while Knowing after, There won't Be much left To Say.

Modern Day
Ten fires burn In the distance. A man looks behind himself Before he turns. Nights fortitude Mixes With love. We Forget. Forefathers Of way-senders, Sifting through old boxes Of tin made smiles and Mis-matched fortunes. A letter rests on the nightstand. It rests near The fountain. We were always so far away. Like a distant lake. Like a mountain. When the lights Are turned out and the dripping Ceases From its Spout, Think of me when you are with he. There is no other place I'd rather be But in-between thoughts Of joy and Misery. A candle for The Hour. A light for The Minute. Only in the flame Do we know We are truly in And living in Time. I've attached Every thought I've Had To Electronic Dream Weavers. I've got no more Strength To give, yet I hear A whisper. Another attention getter. Another bidder. Another hitter. Wake for her. Wake for you. Wake for her And you Together. Intertwined In wine Covered in needles of Aged' thyme. The grass on the field Is Green. No, don't Deny it. I'm weary of stasis. It's a bird Upon my shelf. I'm out of mind. I'm out of places. One more time I look at he and he Looks at me. We Whistle Through the threshold of this Modern Day, all the while Knowing after, There won't Be much left To Say.
