Free Fall

 

All those wings we couldn’t grow

And all those sands we couldn’t sea,

Pull us apart, around this circle

And land us back to where we couldn’t be

And they tug us, tear us, slash our hearts

That we fall apart, shredded in our soul

And we free fall, free fall all the way

Dissipated, though the world sees us whole

 

Free fall, losing all the masks we had to wear

The pilgrimages never made,

The unmet people, songs and sounds

Free fall, the swirling stars will slowly fade

The sun takes back the days of autumn pale

The clouds take back the shimmering rain,

Two eyes, empty now, get to slowly shed

All the stars they can’t contain

 

No resistance, fall all the way down

Bit by bit travelling back, reversing time

Looking at the cenotes we didn’t drown

All the unworn crowns, our only crime

And free fall, down, down, down all the way

Break yourself of all you never are

One day, a seed will find the earth again

And will grow anew, somewhere very, very far…
