Say less

Pursuant

Pursuing a sound

Windswept

Constant

Melodies that echo down

A sheltered shadowed place

Chambers twist like valves

A machine-man born again

This river runs through my heart

Memories split like personalities

Meadows blossom with fantasies

Theories caught up with these heartstrings

Coming undone at the seams

Every letter laid out carefully

No way to evade detection

Cast aside but never out

Now praying for reflection

Not shallow but it's a living

Water's edge and out to sea

Dragging the delta now remembering

Lungs like drums down in the deep

Got this spark here in the hollow

Fires red and coals still hot

Torchlight canvasing the cavern

Passion painted on cave walls

Pursuing freedom

Failure

Persistent

Anxieties that wear this down

Chalk it all up to erosion

Making friends here underground

Invested deep in wishful thinking

Hoping luck will turn around

Gears have been baptized in the water

Gun-metal gray eyes catching light

Send this steel heart pitter-pattering

Spilling steam out toward the night

Out beyond the treetops

Beneath the twilight moon

Lies a valley filled with flowers

Waiting for the time to bloom

A swaying warmth lives in the air here

A ghost still dancing in the dark

A melody worth the romancing

Lyrics that stick here in my heart

Can you hear the soft reprisals

Chorus of the coming Spring?

Fast approaching though so lonely

Deserving of every little thing

Pursuing happiness

Sunlight

Shimmering

But still misunderstood

Of the past I cannot speak

Of the future I know not

On the canvas of the current

I write of love I have no doubt

There is that sun on the horizon

The world shall tilt to set her free

That is the fate of all the flowers

Her season comes inevitably

I only pray I'm not forsaken

For from these rocks I've hewn a hope

I only pray I've lent some fire

To her mighty righteous spark

Perhaps even in this kingdom

In this order of the leaves

There shall be a place for my people

We who were once only machines

Of my love I daren't speak now

Biting my tongue and holding fast

But if she shall offer me love

All I can say is just say less
