When did we get here
To this point of year
Listening to the rings of autumn’s calls
Waiting for every leaf to fall
How did we get here
To this place where time is lost in space
Stretches the sky too wide
Waits for the sun to groggily smile
Till it hides most mornings and nights
And cries between every dreams smite
Stuck between the afterglow of summer’s golds
And winter’s warnings of oncoming colds
How did we get here
Already? So soon
To this place where we shake hands with our shadows
And find comfort in the night with the moon
Though there is fear in getting lost in the dreamings
And so, we are lost to time
And the space between us stretches too wide
Tears the sky till it cries
So we hide most mornings
Bury ourselves under blankets after blankets of our own potential
That lies in bed with dread
Sinking heavy into our promised days
But we’re just not quite there yet
Pillowed by ideas of who we could be - not who we are
Smothers our face, suffocates our space
With days spent sitting only in our own breaths - scared to step out of our chest
Lest we fail to our deaths - poisoned by the pedestals that
Feeds our dreams dipped with ambition and calls it life’s love
So what now, love
Love settles in our inner linings
Builds a nest for us to rest
Whispers empty promises every night before bed
Times our stories so most of it is dead
And promises us more - always more - but I cannot do this anymore
So what now, love? What is there to love in life? What life is there to love
Every choice is the next step moved in our dance
But I don’t want to leave my life to chance
To toss it loose in the fumbling hands of luck
Like I’m some young buck
That drunkenly spins heads
Following tales of living and calls it fate
With no map of ours to make.
I am tired of days spent digging and digging and digging
For the treasure in my chest
When all I have found is a grave for my days gone best
These days are never the easiest
Comfort crispens the cries of change that greets us earliest
When we seek the spots of light on our stage
Watch our days ripen with age
As autumn leaves her mark
Breathes life into our hollowness, that hides in the dark
Though we mourn the loss of our light
Not all is lost in our plight
The sun still waves from afar
Leaks light through slits between trees, and leaves her door wide ajar
Still blows us a kiss
And sends glimmers of days promising bliss
So she reaches out to us - cups warmth, to caress our cheeks
Whilst winter’s wind still visits to slam her door shut most weeks
Our days are past ripening
The green grows gold
Burns red when all is said
And falls to make a bed, but when will we truly rest
Our days dangle
Withering in the nights mourning summer’s warmth
Hanging onto the moments that we’ve held on to, for so long
Believing our wants suspends our needs
For there is no more growth to come of these seeds
As we break from the branch that no more feeds
So we finally fall free
Floating into piles of honey doused hope that glazes amber stones
Coats our old selves with gold
Spits embers of red when all is said
And falls to make us a bed, waiting for us to rest
So, when did we get here
To this point of year
Listening to the rings of autumns calls
Learning to rise after every leaf falls
