In 2007 I saw you on the stage
That was the year before I start to age
And grow into the skin I’ve earned
I touched the sun and, baby, I was burned
Though it’s as though I’m lit from within
And in the time before I still knew him
In my thoughts, in my words, in the page
You dance before me like it’s all the rage
And I take a note out of your book
I think forever deserves a second look
Is it okay that I vibe with thirty
Two now I’m in the scene
So many years
Since I woke the dream
Up from where she lay
On the floor
She thought she could worship
And adore
But I showed her the light that shine
All that is hers not mine
As catastrophic landed her there
Well, that along with meditative prayer
And the love almost beat
Her heart to death
As she swore
She would not forget
All that had come to pass
Impermanence cannot last
Amid the landscape of the true
Was I wrong to reveal it all to you
At so young an age
Get up from the ground and grab a page
Write it out
All that fear and all that doubt
Like spilled ink
Honey you don’t have to think
To know just what you are
I’m watching you through a star
