So hard not to open
My eyes to the sky
I step quickly
From the shadows
Into the waning light,
My body feels heavy
But my heart feels light
Like out my chest it will break
Leave my carcass behind,
I'm writing again
Polished off the desk
Re inked my pen
The paper is crisp fresh,
There is a breeze
And the air feels new again,
Spring is bounding forth
Towards me and my mind
Is a reloaded gun
I'm going to take it easy
I'm going to take it slow
The setting sun
Behind me;
The coming night
Before me;
Wonder how many
Bullets I have left...
