Dust And Light

The TV has run out of advice

And the people you love got nothing to say

But when you ask with a shovel you’ll find your faith

At the bottom of a hole

Have you seen anything that you would doubt me?

When you were not, the stones were singing..

You’re tapping your pen on the desk

Your thoughts have found words

But your lungs don’t have breath

So you’re wasting all your ink circling lines

Your mind is a passenger train

We are more than what night gives us credit for

We were dust, now we’re light!

Father time is a selfish man

He runs on schedule and keeps all of our plans

But what happens when I can’t fit on a clock

I’ll buy my freedom while I can

Burn your list; find your sight, adjust to the night

Give up hope that you’ll be right

Let in the light, illuminate the night

Lighting up the dust floating from my eyes

Perfect Love casts out all fear, so I choose the darkness here

There’s hope for you yet.
