Waiting and watching, breathing and decaying,
The world goes by, never alone but forever as one,
Linking and leaking, dripping through time,
Wasting away, like fruit on the vine,
We take and we take, but so few do us give,
Eclipses of light, fragments of moon,
No flowers bloom, beneath bodies of rot,
Tripping and seeing, peering through space,
We flow on the river, wading in deep,
Apples and cheese, rats eat the dog,
From here, until never,
Necrosis of soul, Grieving takes hold,
Quenching the thirst, delivers the hunger,
Omitting the truth, encourages danger,
Flying from hope, you catch me mid-flight,
Grabbing and pulling, suffocating the pain,
Into the warmth, you drag kicking and screaming,
Out of the dark, you saved my poor wretch.
