Human

Turning over and over

Making the sight of sun and moon

Open up my eyes

This spark cools down, starts again

Falling asleep, waking up, dreaming

Falling into the ocean…

 

Long time jealousy I hear in this Earth

Crawling through the space between

What has always been there and what has

Always not…

I never could have imagined how

Painful and beautiful it’s all been

Heaven is close to a place like this.

 

Rolling over my time with my tongue

Such a bittersweet symphony that plays

Part by part, pacing and rushing itself just for me

Life, or something like it

Never sounds like it should

But, simply is what it sounds.

 

Angels part ways

Begging for their destiny to be taken

We are where angels lose their way

Brothers and sisters, I’m right here with you

As the darkness

And the light is slowly erased

 

It’s all just the price we pay

To be human.
