A Memory of Millions
The way the soft wind moved the dust to the field and kept it there sitting
The way the summer sun was setting and hit the dust just right in that open field
It glowed; bright; gold
Everything had to be perfect for it to look how it did
Now the sun has moved and the wind didn’t blow it right and it wasn’t the same
The chance I had to see that perfection was one in a million, but it happened
I saw it, I lived it, it touched me, changed me, now here I am still looking for it, but its gone
Like everything else it leaves, changes, moves on
But here I stay gripping tight to my past, not letting it go
But the force of time is stronger, and my grip is slipping
Cant see whats in front of me cause my eyes only see whats behind
Whats left for me in this world?
Is all the good gone?
Summers over, the memory’s done
I should know that by now
But Im still holding on
Begging and praying for it again
When I finally do lose grip, ill fall to the ground
Cause I have nothing else to hold on to
But maybe I already have
Maybe Im now standing up, brushing off the dust, bruises healing up
Cause time heals everything
But time ends it all too
