Our World Caved In

Due to down and dirty
Our world caved in
I lost my breath
The pace of my day didn’t keep up
Something new was introduced
I wrapped myself around it as best I could
But I couldn’t touch high country
Your dark pale moon face faded a bit
It was still stained deep on my heart
I wore your earrings today
I remembered us
The deep note in my mind won’t resound with you gone
I’m empty inside
Laughter evades me
The dark doesn’t penetrate
My wine won’t lend me silly
I need to dazzle myself
I want you to remember how you saved my life
My membranes reverberate your name
You’re my best friend
Sandcastles disappeared under the sun of day
So toast something great
Our world caved in
Yet we promoted our nation’s peace
Carried a tumultuous tune
Played the roulette game
And your life
And my life
Will dazzle
Amaze
Find value
And paint the hues of gold and silver again
I hear your voice now
Tempting me to be lifted
To circulate literature about esoteric truth
Don’t let me become regular
Be my friend beyond the bayou
Cause the wind to pick up on my side
I’m sending it your way
With a note
Our world caved in
But we have an answer
Love is still an easy thing between us
Even if it’s up and away.
