Ricochet

Seconds spill and ricochet
Passing hours, filling days
Strapped down, tied up, left that life behind
Minutes melt down into dust
Shaping years by building trust
Lay down, look up, circumstances bind

Black and white, a hurricane
Cold coast living gone insane
Found a ring and lost her mind
Left warm weather far behind

Weather sees and weather begs
Whether skies make time for it
Somewhere in the grey is where I’d like to stay

Two eyes gazing at the moon
Ride the tide, coming soon
Dressed up, sits down, breathing, clutching time
Dragons drag a tongue on green
Waiting years for what’s now seen
Get down, stay up, books will start to rhyme
