Falling Backwards...

Underneath, I can see the day.
How we all hold on, to stop what's already left, floating away.
Who are we?
and where do we all belong?
How can we walk straight past the bird that sings us a song?
without even a glimpse.
The moment's passed.
Like a wandering heart, a lost love,
a broken song, if only it last.

Life's so busy, we forget the day.
Forget what it's like to whisper inside a second,
goodbye to a lover walking away.
Or maybe even, to take one step at a time.
To look in the eyes, and feel with the heart,
such raw emotion, we could die.
So much for us to bare,
a closeness we cannot share,
with a passing stranger, even a loved one,
a brother, a prayer.

Destination unknown.
All this thought is not wise,
because once you know, you know.
You're awake then, never to close your eyes.
