By MOON ontherun
From the album Traces of Time
It’s the Ame of year
when everything is blooming
Blackbirds singing,
promising better days
The glow on the street
fractures winter’s shadows
A sparkling city
reflecting hopeful light
But still
nothing of this seems to lighten my mind
Still holding on
to darker sounds of winter
My soul
unable to curve up towards the sun
A twisted frame
and I don’t know how to fix me
I caught sight of you
quietly standing smoking,
looking to me
as though you hadn’t slept a while
You read my mind
and see the same old story
“You’re too lost in thought “
leaving life behind”
But still
Nothing of this seems to lighten my mind
Still holding on
To frozen thoughts of winter
My soul
Unable to curve up towards the sun
A twisted self
And I don’t know how to fix me
But still
Nothing of this seems to brighten my mind
A broken stem
But you can always fix me
A broken stem
But you can always fix me
