Awe (collab. with Kelly Rose)

*A profound moment lost forever

In the wake of worry

Awe’s reverent beauty

Overlooked for life’s illusions

No wonder lights the soul

As worry’s froth and foam

Clouds one’s perspective*

 

Lost in thought and never saying never

Everything is blurry like walking in a flurry

Beauty surrounds me even when I feel pity

Chances squandered, like when an ump cried "foul!"

I dance with death with awe

Each move so seductive
