The Only Song That I Could Play
Looking over the next horizon, and the next after that.
Here and there and
Gone astray
Who is to say what choices
Not their own
Have strayed from paths
They never owned?
_
This life lived
As well as it may
Until the stars’
Shadows dark en
Into sunrise
Anew
For endless new
Chances to go astray
Again and
Again
Straining at the leash
Of society’s strictures
Structured to keep you
Still.
_
Forever here
Never there
Ever searching
Seeking
Straining
For a chance to see
Beyond another dull
Day dressed same again
In monotone
Grey.
_
For a chance to see
Just one sight of
Over the hills
And far away.
