Life is transient
people are moments
smile when it hits you
cry when you need to
take it all in
then let it go.
It’s a long sunset
a wayward seagulls cry
a vague memory
a handful of sand
a shadow
a glistening of rain on the wind.
Life
it is change
it’s a moving train
we always seem to get to it
when it’s pulling away
so we just stand
and wave
as it leaves.
so tip your hat
take a deep breath
put down the bags we carry
toss the ticket into the wind
walk along the tracks
find your soul again.
There is a road
no one really knows where it ends
it’s a game
You play your hand
keep your eye on the dealer
the promises he hands out are fake
We risk our hearts
so we can play
So you take off your hat
and scream
when you look down at your soul
it bleeds
now it’s just the tracks and me
left my shoes at the station
left my dignity on the platform
left my will to its journey
I just keep walking
somehow, someway
I ended up here
Not sure what the signs read
but my head is clear
I toss my faith to the land
I may return one day
