Thin blue
Pale as a robins egg
Stillness great enough to drown in
Great enough to swim away from here
To freedom
Were I not bound
The weak force holds me
And distance
And time wear away
What I want seems like less of a choice
More dream
More hope
For the slowly dying
In the minutes passing
Sky
Hopping bird takes wing
Lyrics yet to be sung struggle out
Yearning to quiver and shake
Swallowing back syllables
No voice loud enough to be heard
Stifled
Fighting for breathe
Pleading eyes
Begging to be known
That distant air
Promises made
Always one more to keep
One more to make whole
Distant thunder
Storm blessed
Sky drawn
Woken anew and shift gold
Breaks broken
Arrows flown true
Time for us
One more turn on the wheel
