The End of TIme

The End of Time

So hold me till I break

I’m made of sterner stuff

The universe will crumble first

Before it gets to rough

You have the best of hearts, love

When intentions mean it all

But watch your step when walking

Pride goeth before the fall

Children often don’t think

And taunt before they listen

But you and I will laugh till dawn

As they feed their own ambition

What matters at the end of time?

Who waits when daylight breaks?

The moon will only laugh at them

Who really knows the price, the stakes?

Look, Butterfly

Crystal visions of seeking

While the smoke hangs heavy in the air

Heads bob in the ether

Sour taste in my mouth

Can I taste it on yours?

Warm bodies press closer together

So nice, pressure

Wow, is that my hand?

It’s in yours

How did that happen?

Can we stay forever?

Moments are fleeting

Flittery little bugs that get away from us

If they would only hold still

Would you hold still?

Look a shooting star

Make a wish

Not, me I don’t have wishes

Wishes are for dreamers

Dreaming requires surrender

I don’t have enough ambition

To see me through those dark times

I can only rely on myself

Take what we have now

Don’t question it, just smile

And keeping watching the stars,

Look, another butterfly!
