The green summer leaves
My heart tangled and knotted
I give up on sleep
The green summer leaves
My heart tangled and knotted
I give up on sleep
This is how it ends
Like falling leaves fluttering
A fledgling’s first flight
Torn apart into
Tiny little pieces and
Trampled under foot
As the waves roll in
And out across the pebbles
Grinding them to sand
In the beating sun
A pulsing tattoo on drums
Slowly fades away
Stuck in this dark cave
Cowering and terrified
My life in their hands
Am I a spare part?
Am I just an appendix?
If so, amputate
Where did summer go?
It never is truly warm
In these northern climes
The horizon glows
Pine trees loom in silhouette
Darkness never falls
We share the same sun
We breathe the same oxygen
Let’s keep the same earth
