stay

By zazu

No one knows how long they'll last,
Sometimes a fire is extinguished too fast.
Sometimes the world stops turning for moments,
And the people who capture it are the artists and poets.
Sometimes your walls start to crumble away,
Because the people around you, have nothing to say.
You wish they're was a world where you simply fit,
But the puzzle is rigged and you'll never get it.
Don't play by the rules that are set in stone,
when it's the chances you take that move you along.
Don't fueled by the world that you live in today,
Tomorrow could be a new one just waiting for you to make way.
So, please stay.

    That's what the music told me.
    In the street just before twilight
    You see the world through sunglasses,
    Through wine glasses,
    Through glass windows that keep you from the heat.

    She was protected.

    Peace

    We can lie on our backs and gaze up at the sky,
    Let the seconds become hours,
    Allow the birds to pass by.
    Let the noises dissolve into murmurs and songs,
    Let the light on our faces keep us peaceful and calm.
