The Winterless North

Paper Promises

it's time to run the gauntlet
time to break away from these crowds
time to walk the highest wire
time to unleash the baying hounds

how perfect are these hearts that we've been given
and how defined are these scars
how very sharpened our perception
and how inescapable these bars

how I loved that mighty river!
as beside her mossy banks I wept
tempted to be a taker and not a giver
how slyly into my heart that sickness crept

won't you hideaway my love
refuse to remember me with such precision

so vacant are these paper promises
bringers of doubt & indecision

don't forget to mind the gap
between what you think and what you feel
and please don't neglect to mind the gap
between the imagined and what's real

don't blink now as we disappear into the ether
take the wheel we'll make it through the storm
don't blink now as we disappear into the ether
grip the wheel we'll make it through the storm
don't blink now as we disappear into the ether
take the wheel we'll make it through the storm
