Revisiting
Sometimes I want to go back in time, find simplicity
But like fantasies in a fire
That is yet to come
So I succumb to what is
Whilst wondering what else I could have done
There is no mystery
In what she said
But why it comes back
Maybe I don’t want to know
Lazy days have this impression
Dress my thoughts in olden clothes
Open the door for confessions
Only one way this can lead
And when that happens
All else becomes less important
And then becomes timeless
The failings far forgot
In the shifting patterns
We would make, have truth be
Guess there is no more to say
The moorings loosed on a turbulent sea
Our seeds all drowned in history
The question then has no meaning
For the answer is alone
Regardless, into there I climb
This one more time
