The light which breaks at dusk through a window The sunlight is fragmented into ripples of rainbow They flicker and pulse, and what little do they know They dance to remember, of once being whole The breeze which winds at dusk from the west Whispers cooly in the ear a rumor of a test And as the dust is lifted and sent a million ways Think each a separate journey, perspective falls into place The mockingbird which sings at dusk off of a perch Tries to find a way, with the best view on the earth Yet she sings others’ songs for others to hear While the story of herself falls on a forest of deaf ears The 7 o'clock chime which rings at dusk from the basement Interrupts from the dust, with a tone of displacement The chimes remind, a whole seperated by the divide For love was once here, but it won’t be for some time

Summer Murmur
The light which breaks at dusk through a window The sunlight is fragmented into ripples of rainbow They flicker and pulse, and what little do they know They dance to remember, of once being whole The breeze which winds at dusk from the west Whispers cooly in the ear a rumor of a test And as the dust is lifted and sent a million ways Think each a separate journey, perspective falls into place The mockingbird which sings at dusk off of a perch Tries to find a way, with the best view on the earth Yet she sings others’ songs for others to hear While the story of herself falls on a forest of deaf ears The 7 o'clock chime which rings at dusk from the basement Interrupts from the dust, with a tone of displacement The chimes remind, a whole seperated by the divide For love was once here, but it won’t be for some time
