The sky erupts
In electric psychedelic colors
today
we are born with the clouds
bleeding feelings

carrying him closer

I turn this metal
in my hand
I turn it and I
See love

Light


Liveliness

Even though he is gone
I turn this in my hand
It bleeds meaning

And I
Carry him closer,
I carry him closer to
Love

Light


Liveliness
And the colors bursting
Like the flowers
Watered by angels’ tears
Will carry him home
So he can be
Born with the clouds
