Un-Wasted

I sleep

I run
I turn
Undone.

It's life
It's hope
It's love
Become.

I want
I need
I breathe
I see.

It's hard
It's short
It's long
It's free.

Where to stop
When to gaze
Why we walk
How we praise
Who we are is what lasts
What's our wealth; it too will pass.

Emend

Returning to me under duress and fire

We burn the madness in trepid ire
Before we bemuse a wild, lost pain
A vision of augury alters our ways

Waiting and lusting I broke your calm
We loved, we clashed, we climbed beyond
Restoring a trust with heavy hands
So timid we walk on haughty mands
