Bearings of Time
Sitting in this shabby chair
By the screen at night
In the middle of nowhere
Outside and inside
I’ve been meaning to tell you
Something that you know
For a long time that passed through
Something you won’t show
But you know it well enough
So I am aware
That we can’t delete this stuff
It is always there
Not my fault of past or present
Neither it is yours
It just happens, or it doesn’t
Without any cause
Calling through the wind and snow
It’s the voice of time
Time to come, and time to go
Time that brings no sign
Time that says it is too late
Time to close the call
Time that has no time to wait
Time that makes me small
Time to hug an empty space
Kissing this cold air
Time to turn my smiling face
Back into nowhere.
