Shallow Light

When the time's enough

to sow your shadow up

in the torn up sky you'll want to sell no lie

when the time arrives

you'll meet you there with graceful eyes

what more can we take from the empty desert waste

but the chords we fear

are the ones that draw us near

there's no mouth can tell

an ocean not to swell

if everything was planned

drawn up before the womb

were you made to run

or to stay inside?

Our minds have taken flight

programmed to sift through shallow light

what was the world but words?

Said to a silent earth
