tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life? (all I've ever wanted, of course, was to matter)

Oh this ephemeral life!

Oh this ephemeral life
One summer too short
One winter too long
Oh this ephemeral life
One life to live
One life to die
Oh this ephemeral life
One true happiness
One true sorrow
Oh this ephemeral life
One sweet love
One love lost
Oh this ephemeral life
One dream of the stars
One morning in the trash
Oh this ephemeral life
One true servant
One true master
Oh this ephemeral life!
One summer too short
One winter too long
Oh this ephemeral life
One life to live
One life to die
Oh this ephemeral life
One true happiness
One true sorrow
Oh this ephemeral life
One sweet love
One love lost
Oh this ephemeral life
One dream of the stars
One morning in the trash
Oh this ephemeral life
One true servant
One true master
Oh this ephemeral life!

Ephemeral, ephemeral, ephemeral

Early hours with smoke and rising skies
Sleep that drug we denied
We knew
Even then , this was -
Ephermal as ephermal could be.
Unacknowledged,
In deafening silence, our
Entwined fingers knew
Through beating hearts and a myriad little hurts ;
We weren't a forever
Barely a today,
You and I -
- Broken, breaking,
fallen, falling -
Albeit a plot hole
In each other's stories.
Sleep that drug we denied
We knew
Even then , this was -
Ephermal as ephermal could be.
Unacknowledged,
In deafening silence, our
Entwined fingers knew
Through beating hearts and a myriad little hurts ;
We weren't a forever
Barely a today,
You and I -
- Broken, breaking,
fallen, falling -
Albeit a plot hole
In each other's stories.
We knew , we knew , we knew
We knew we would break
You or me
Still we stayed
The charade had to be played
(After all)
We knew we would break
You or me
Still we stayed
The charade had to be played
(After all)

Ephemeral

It was an ephemeral moment
As stars swam gently above the still dark ocean
the night kisses the water in everlasting ripples
in mellifluous voices of whisper & echoes
It was an ephemeral moment
As the beautiful aurora ruled over time
She wore silks of scarlet, red & blue linen
that painted across the mountains & skies
It was an ephemeral moment
where shadows dance around the crackled bonfire
as natives tell of legends untold
within the midnight of dark and cold
It still is an ephemeral moment
if you believe them to be
the world is made just of defining moments
scraps and shattered reflections of you and me

where shadows dance around the crackled bonfire
as natives tell of legends untold
within the midnight of dark and cold
It still is an ephemeral moment
if you believe them to be
the world is made just of defining moments
scraps and shattered reflections of you and me
Ephemeral: lasting for a very short time.
