(Sketch No. 4, 2020)
No one's in here
Just clear glass at noon
The clouds disappear
In silence
Do i still exist
A room to isolate
As the notes persist
Inside me
Forever now
I'm counting down
Forever now
I'm counting down
This is an instant
This is the only glimpse we're offered
It's been an empty year
A life in repeat
Sirens fill the air
Cascading
How can i resist
As the sound drowns me out
The melodies i've missed
Have found me
I tell myself
To the starlings you are moving so slow
Forever now
To the banyan you are gone so fast
I tell myself
The sand has been stacked by the wind
Forever now
The stars have been guiding our path
This is an instant
This is the only glimpse we're offered"
