The World

The world waits outside our window
Birds sing and crickets lull
We are at once bound and free
Black ink marks out our future
We dare give it time
All is lost
Nothing found
We take deep breaths
Imagine for a moment what it would be like without
No more powder
No more dreams
We dare ponder
The whole world waits outside our window
The chill of the wind wraps around our shoulders
We are together
All that matters
We charge up an electric storm
All is gathered in
We crunch moonbeams and stars
Hold the open steady
Write out a history we dare not repeat
The world waits outside our window
We greet it with a wry smile
All is lost
Nothing gained.
