And decided it should be daring, rather than the usual and dull.

And we...

More like passing a truck on the road

And at times I caught glimpse of his load.
His freight always sealed with...

Their busy lives disrupted by death's end
Not knowing they'd encounter love unrestrained
By coming home for mom's funeral to attend
Life has some changes for which to contend

echoing sighing resonant waves of wisdom
surfing through lunar waxing-waning freedoms

for red skies at night.
