when those tears roll down your cheeks
from your starry glossy eyes
they catch on a silver string
and bring on a beauty unsynthesized

when your chest is heaving heavy
and your voice sings with sadness
as I hold you my arms a blanket
my back to carry the madness

Those times we both were sinking
lips tight while we both knew
the earth rising all around us
but the sky still never changed its blue

the fire always burning
sending smoke signals to the air
you hugged me tighter still
I ran my fingers through your hair

when you cry you look so wonderful
like when it finally starts to rain
and I watch the dry spots disappear
maybe its washing away the pain

giving life to all around us
carving valleys out of plains
cracking rocks on top of mountains
putting blood within in our veins

when the fire roars again
I cant make out whats burning
but its warmth is so admired
that its no longer worth discerning
