For the Sake Of
For the Sake Of
in the light,
of tomorrow,
see the world
shining
through a haze.
yesterday was
the opening,
tomorrow is the
closing
of the space,
between,
the visions
of the lake
Send out prisms
divide the light
around
to everyone
see how
death is laid
know your song
sing along
hear the notes
skipping
past your ears.
smell and breathe
away the day
kick the
prison bars
all clear away.
Keep tight
stay right
or you will
be hollowed
out to see
your brain
digging,
digging for fortune
swimming,
swimming for safety
dying,
dying for
the sake
of getting out
in the light,
of tomorrow,
see the world
shining
through a haze.
