Hourglass 04:39
In the early hours, at the break of day, time slows down as it slips away and I watch it go in a silver stream in to the glow of eternity. The moonlight in the sky is fading away. The cool night wind subsides to the heat of the day. The gulls return over the cliff where the breaking ice begins to drift. Your morning eyes watch it all, but you’re still too young to really know. All this beauty that you hold dear is burning like the wild fire spires in the breeze. A banner in the heat: “Freedom isn’t free”. Your eyes look to me and I couldn't tell you what it means to me. I saw things backwards; I found my calling in your name. You, what I really love. Now I make it up as I go along. When I try to plan it all goes wrong. There’s an hourglass over your head. Your sparkling eyes like a newly wed. As you sign your name to your work in the fog on the glass, I’ll be flying off to work where drills are diving through the ice, black and burning. The family dollar vice: keep on earning. Your eyes look to me and I couldn't tell you what it means to me. I saw things backwards. I found my calling in your name. You, what I really love.
