Before You Close Your Eyes

Falling off the bridge, and landing in the sea Next of kin is a part of me Paradise waters lay under the surface's glare where my face returns to me Our past together is just as important as the futures you and I will be enacted in But to shed our skins, we'll have to leave the dying tree. It's infected but not with fungi or ***** leaves It's neglected the verity of the momentum we find ourselves encapsulated in It made a promise, and its dues are setting to pay Yesterday, life was a gustle in the winds Here today, I find there's nothing left of consequence And so my dear and faithful audience, I leave you with a single token for my remembrance: An ephemeral leaf through which all seasons shall breath One life, one flash One dash my eyes unveiled: You and I, caught in the wheel Leaves lift the seasons into beatific Ecstasies. Unfearing eyes illuminate the blue skies, Stretching truth far beyond the horizon, Far off into the melting pot Following human eyes wept in happiness Drawing themselves on the dot.
