Seasnonal

The morning comes into view
And the sun shines bright with little light
A new found flower comes into bloom
Perfection now springs to life
Engulfing the world with every new sight
And gives growth to a conscience

Passion pulses through each vein
The midday sun beating down from above
A single spark sets the path ablaze
The melting forms forever changed
Consuming the soul in something like love
And coalesces proud scars

The scent of burnt leaves fills the air
As the setting sun leaves in its wake
A cool, crisp breeze; beautiful debris
Autumnal colors swirl about
Content at last at what life can make
Despite the withering death

Starlight reflects off icy lakes
The forgotten sun fraught by nightfall
A graceful end has come to take place
Tattered and worn limping away
Innocent snow buries all
And waits for morning again

Tell Me

I sit and watch the clock hand
Nearing half past three
Closing my eyes I wonder
What does time mean to me?

Slowly my mind wanders
To thoughts of you and me
Existence collapses inward
Lost in reverie

Tell me, what it is you do to make it right
Tell me, how it is I'm supposed to sleep at night
Awakening inside of me
All the fears you kept from setting free
A presence felt so steadily
Forever gone in just one blink

I've always lacked dependence
Or so I thought before
You lay the seed that made me
Then tore my roots from the core

Though I cannot feel you
You're not completely disappeared
For all this shame and pity
I still shed that tear

Recollecting myself
I consider where I am
This is something I can handle
But I don't believe I can

Words I left unspoken
Now exploding in my ear
As in an icy lifeless desert
Crackled silence is all I hear

Which told me
You told me, it will never be all right
You told me, to cry myself to sleep at night
There's nothing left to burn inside
And time's no longer on my side
A presence of disparity
Tears apart your image, with it my clarity

Never Do Today

Give me a chance to pull this through
There'll always be time with an unlit fuse
So maybe I'm not really in this fight
I know I won't die while you're in my sight

I don't know what it's like to crash and burn
But now it's time to take my turn
I guess I can see that you were right
I'm not ready to go yet, no, not quite

Today, tomorrow, maybe yesterday
I have nothing to say, you ask anyway
Same old rhetoric compounds
Solidifies to the ground
To never rise again

Pages and pages of unread code
Arrogance always still takes hold
I can be wrong just out of spite
I'll hide in the dark to avoid the light

There's always a choice that I can see
Take it or leave it in misery
I might need a guide to find my sight
But you're always the reason that I'll fight
