The Light through the Trees

        Who’s going to take my place?

        Who’s going to feel the same?

        I want to see

        The light through the trees

Kaleidoscopic colour

Blasts past branches

Falling images

Kiss my eyelids

Sunlight strobes

The turning leaves

You’re driving me

Away from here

Driving forward

Driving fast

Driving us together

Driving us apart

Holding onto something

Something I’m unsure of

Rolling a grain of truth

Between my fingers

        Who’s going to take my place?

        Who’s going to feel the same?

        I want to see

        The light through the trees

Sliding shards of joy

Lance each heartbeat but

If that heart paused a moment

When would that moment be?

Driving forward

Driving fast

Driving us together

Driving us apart

Holding on to something

Something I’m unsure of

Rolling a grain of truth

Between my fingers

        Who’s going to take my place?

        Who’s going to feel the same?

        I want to see

        The light through the trees

        I want to see

        The light through the trees

        Who’s going to take my place?

        Who’s going to feel the same?
