The Ends of Everything

Sitting in the middle of the room,

legs crossed, headphones in

Drowning in the sea of color below me

Swimming in rhythms

cascading down from the walls

Dripping down and painting my face

and arms and legs

Wrapping me up in rhythmic love

and comfort and warmth

Falling in love with the way the wind sounds

running past my ears

As I hear the echoes and beats

and harmonies ringing inside me

Running out into the sun,

I catch a glimpse of the sunset.

Just past the tips of the grass,

collapsing in the middle of it all,

I wait for the stars to shine so bright above us

Spinning around as the world spins beneath us

Two hearts growing into the grass,

rooting themselves in the earth

We're digging for the seeds we planted so long ago

Underneath the soles of our shoes,

We hear the ground shaking, rising up

Resounding with the sweet sounds of our souls

Lifting us up together,

we are breaking through the sky

You and I spinning through time

Bright orange lights come sailing through the skies

Crashing down on us, causing us to stumble

To collapse as we run deep into the woods

And fall down

As we look up, we can see

a white light from above glistening,

Shining down on you and me,

And before the world collapses,

and everything fades away,

I look over into those deep eyes,

and I sigh, and I see you laugh

That's the last thing I will ever want to see

Your smile and your eyes, they are the ends of everything,

We are the ends of everything.
