Death Is Not Glamorous Beyond The Shadow Of A Doubt
Stared out over the ocean at the snow filled sky and
Threw wishes to the wind, the black expanse of sky and
Sea, the million stars stared back at me
I wished for moments to make their mark and remain
Fresh and constant in memory
Like initials carved into the bark of trees
Like messages in snow, snow that doesn’t melt
The things we know we’ve felt
We cling to what we know
We plant what we’ve been shown and hope to grow
We dig in where we’ve been shown and hope to grow
Staring at the sun as so many wither away
I will strive to remain, I will strive to gain
To seek, higher truths, to remain as in youth
To pursue, to pursue, in pursuit
Chasing the things, scarce truths to guide us, what we’ve
Learned inside us, counting the stars, endless sky, endless
Sea, horizons divide me, standing on the frozen beach
Reach out my hands, the world around us
Build a world around us, from all we have inside of us
