(Music: An Ending, a Beginning - Dustin O'Halloran)

Starting anew

with hopes for future 

inexistent

walking on ashes of clouds

falling through inverted skies

once glimpsed

or never

lost

for those eyes never looked up

seeking the pebbles of forgiveness

to not depart in dreamlike waves

of dusty memories

before you even knew

that light was shining through

above

a head bent seeking balance

in horizons glimpsed as reflections

of someone's smile in muddy puddles

just there for moments gone

and footsteps not followed

for fear of rising above

the lightness of an understanding

grounding

and splashes of joy

just imagined to be too real

so close, yet distant so

for just another day
