Hear Me

To the pale night lost or in-between: I holler and I howl, Then I quiet & I plead Can you hear me, please? Can you hear me, please? Then I’m gone I’m gone I’m gone I’m gone & we’re boys again, All the way back in the cold Waiting for a train to come in Can you hear me, please? Can you hear me, please? Then I’m gone I’m gone I’m gone I’m gone & a light’s come on The sun through the blinds, Have I been asleep all along? As time spilled and pooled around my feet First as a river but now more like a sea A collage of impressions/ Pieces of how it used to be Moments of people and places and scenes, How do you hold on to everything? I’ve been rising and falling, flying and calling, All for what, I don’t know Just to move through a life and beg Can you hear me, please? Loud as I can, Lost or in-between, As time spills and pools around my feet Moments of people and places and scenes How do you hold on to everything?
