Lightly Lightly Lightly
How do you feel things lightly?
How do you let them pass
To separate all the layers
To let a full breath last?
Cause there are no peripheries,
No borderline were we separate,
I'm smothered by this weather
And I'm so entangled in its fate.
I tried to tread lightly,
To pull up a glass screen,
But when I close my eyes
My mind can't unsee what it has seen.
The more I try to run to the shallows,
The more selfish that I feel,
A traitor fleeing from the huddle
Where all the wounded kneel.
Hands moving in accordance,
Words uttered with no meaning,
A mismatched figure trying
To make her condolences more appealing.
In this bed of water I lay wondering
where the leaks are coming from,
But does it matter, now that the currents
have made it past my wavering front?
So how do you feel things lightly,
How do you let them pass?
To allow for you to address
Your own crumbling castle of sand.
