Nothing Prevails

I know what you know
The harbor leaves of summer pale before the rains
When you can save me
A clarity of winter clasps us in its
Embrace
But then
We never said it’s perfect
We never make concessions
So again
You run the field backwards while I do nothing
Don’t be fooled by what you have
Nothing prevails and nothing lasts
Sacred to another
Calling to your brother
Reaching out to everyone but nothing is uncovered
When I was who I was then
I could paint the whole world with just three colors
Then you came to show me
In the beauty of isolation nothing grows
And now
Prioritizing peace while holding down the pain
Now and then
I turn the pages backwards so I can feel something
Don’t be fooled by what you have
Nothing prevails and nothing lasts
Perfect we’re together
Pretending with the others
Reaching into ourselves to find there’s nothing left to be discovered
No matter how large our view
We’re still trapped
Trapped in a circle of pathways
Trapped in a web of people
Trapped by bridges
Trapped by time
With only the pictures
To make it seem real
Don’t be fooled by what you have
Nothing prevails and nothing lasts
Sacred to another
Calling to your brother
Reaching out to everyone but nothing is uncovered
Don’t be fooled by what you have
Nothing prevails and nothing lasts
Perfect we’re together
Pretending with the others
Reaching into ourselves to find there’s nothing left to be discovered
