Are you happy
lossnaturememorytimeidentitysolitude
Are you happy
For me
Does it make you sad
The pain
Once shared
Now witnessed
What would you have me do
I can see your smiling face
Reflected in every surface
Tell me the secret
You keep
Who is it for.
What is the meaning
Of silence
When there is a word
For every sound
But nothing
Is an unknown
Will it become familiar
When I am gone
Only tomorrow knows
And it is not
For the telling
Eventide holds a candle
For you
Which will burn
Until the devil
Steals the moon
They both argue
Beneath the horizon
Over the speed
Of its return
As I recall
The truth is nothing
Without some
Insight
Into its becoming
And I need you
To remind me
Of its mystery
Before the last moonbeam
Dissolves into dust
As that will be a time
To give an answer
To the meaning of
Redemption
