Anew

a story about new beginnings

without us is just time as it all lingers
the way the clothes go unwashed,
the ounce of energy it takes to make dinner, then dessert
the heart of a conversation won over finally
without us is just time as it all lingers
storms wreck havoc on our lives
rain pours down gently
the wind carries all of our troubles away
without us is just time as it all lingers
they invent things afterwards
after us
as time just lingers
slogans become one way to say it
cigarettes become reminders of what a real fire means
it all just lingers behind us too
the past carries our memories
faster than the future knows
is it time?
time just lingers but can we change it?
when I change the clocks do you notice?
without us is just time as it all lingers
sometimes I count the roses, as they bud
I count the eggs as they require instructions
I slice cake and see the rest too
without us is just time as it all lingers
food expires longer than you stay mad
food can expire, you know?
we exercise but not enough
the moon man couldn't do a push up to save his life
without us is just time as it all lingers
we go to the doctor
we open our mouth
"ah.."
we hold onto our belongings, we cherish those
we leave
we walk
one step, or two at a time
time just lingers on
we find out
love says now
love says then
love says plenty
love says all
love and time won't make us one for long
time lingers on
we remember to remember
we remember when we see
we close our eyes
is that the life I. know?
time just lingers on without us
So I made a plan
it happened one day
I saw the sun
each glistening ray
it made me think of you
and I was running
as fast as I could
as time lingers on
I couldn't wait to see you
I couldnt wait to say hey you
but time doesn't answer like love
love knows its echo
time?
at least each new day includes the sun,
and time does linger on without us
around
and without us, one
as time says stop
like love, when you're loveless and
done
Oh, sun!
