I lift my voice like outstretched wings

I rise above untethered strings

For chance alone, this time can't heal

A lovers death, a beggars meal

Of course correction, save the date,

Undying thirst, immortal taste

A blackened mist, distorted gaze

Kaleidoscopic summer’s haze.

Feel what simmers, watch it grow

A mangled heart, that doesn't know.

To fix a hole, is to forget

Not fill it in, with more regret

To save the rabbit, cut him loose

A sigh is just a thought's caboose

Pray to never, on bended knee

Recycled thoughts, we bow to thee

The songs we hear, remain obscured

Our ears they strain to eat the words

Illusions wept for fallen fools

And those who claim to bend the rules,

A kiss goodbye to I, me, mine -

Those bound up by the chains of time.
