The Space Between Oceans

What have we done

In the space between oceans

How should we choose to live

What we have done

In the space between oceans

I have no answers to give

There’s darkness along the edges of waves

And salt to sting the eye

Beneath it all you’ll find mass graves

As the Earth just passes by

Wake

Waiting subconsciously in the night

To wake again come morning light

Shaken again from a dream

I swear in the distance I detect a scream

Upon a hazy morning slumber

Bolting eyes and head filled with thunder

The storm slowly becomes a song

I reach for your shadow

And then you are gone

Wire Connections

I reach for you

But I am reaching through a wire

I hold you in my palm

But I am all alone

The connections that make us so distant

Touching flesh to the manufactured

Fractured minds forgetting to press send

Pretending the closeness is real

Longing to feel what it was we were before

Symphony

We sit together silently watching

It is Peace that is before us

A thousand strings strumming

The War that isn’t coming

If we could exist inside the vibration of a single, beautiful breath

Could it be the complexity of Life that we would choose

Instead of the sick simplicity of Death
