Just how you function.

Back to the roots of your existence, bring me along.

Conjure a moment, hide your frame. under the starlight, your ledger

Held their names. and i could see your hands vividly as they extracted the color from

Words and strings.

Those restless hours i saw by the light that you provided.

Skies not so bright compared to what you keep behind those eyes.

From dream. for you had come and gone so hastily, but i was grateful for

One night beside the stream.

Teach me to see without obstruction.

All i want to know, just how you function. back to the roots of your

Existence. bring me along.

Lost, our sense of space and time as the river banks grew wide.

And the frost clung to our sides, you and i.
