My New Life
My new life fills my head
Every moment it tells me
I will be fine
Pulled through the past
and through each day
what do I want to remember
when memory fails?
These few things:
impending darkness
repelled by an evening clearly lit
by lamplight
a conversation connubial
with the promise of passion
waking
to a cool morning
after a heat wave
My new life fills my head
Every moment it tells me
I will be fine
Pulled through the past
and through each day
what do I want to remember
when memory fails?
These few things:
impending darkness
repelled by an evening clearly lit
by lamplight
a conversation connubial
with the promise of passion
waking
to a cool morning
after a heat wave
