Minim
Raindrops fall into the sun
As every thought now dies in incompletion
Shadows, everywhere
The world, one shade
One restless, dead vibration
And in every street
Are signs that tell me who I'm meant to be
Lost meaning, empty wallets strewn like sand across a desert plain
The same, the same, all is the same
I look to the heavens and cry out
Ashamed for all I couldn't help to be
These shadows of an image I can't see
Cast in the clouds that had silver horizons
Lost now, in such a calamity of color
I can't help but feel now deep inside that
I have never been before
I have to say
In no name in particular
I'll always be
Where you want me
Where you want me
To be
Streaks across the window pane
Aspersions never seem the same
Creep down into my heart like veins of darkness
Of such mystery
Things made in me that I can't help but claim
As hope
Or fear
I don't quite well remember which or when
But then was only time
And you
And me
Nor life nor sanity
And all these hollow words
These things that creep from out our souls
And cast aside all claims to anything but emptiness
I hear the singing softly
I have never been
I have to say
With no name that
I'll always wish to be
Where you want me
When you wish me
We
Hope
Hope
Wish that we
could be
