about

Adapted from an old poem.

lyrics

Little lights on the narrow path
linked together in one place.
See your profile in the shadows cast
never turning to my face.

Pressing flowers in an old book
catching moments that are lost.
Don’t you know that they’re dead though?
Death for beauty is the cost.

Shattered nothings falling fast
on a deafened ear.
Crumpled under weighted page
in a heavy tomb.

Scattered seeds on the pathway
under swooping of the bird.
Blinded crying in the harsh sun
wishing only to be heard.

Weakened roots in the shallow ground
seeking purchase in the rock.
Affronted by an indifference
that kept hunger under lock.

Bone broken on the hardened soil
cast upon the floor.
Praying for receding tides
and pursuit of sun.

Aching cries in the black sky
only echoes here reply.
Screaming inward from an awful place
where any hope can only die.

Tangled vines and the sharp thorns
clinging tightly in a web.
Blood pouring and the rust scars
joy of living in an ebb.

Little lights on the narrow path
linked together in one place.
See your profile in the shadows cast
never turning turn my face.

Salvation is a lonely writ
Salvation is a lonely writ
Salvation is a lonely writ
in an oblique place.
