Lift
May the winds of change
carry you into the sky
and to great fortunes.
May the winds of change
carry you into the sky
and to great fortunes.
These nostalgic songs
pluck at the strings of my heart
with practiced fingers.
Our memories are
a foggy glass through which we
gaze into twilight.
This morning I wake
and face the icy new day
along with the dawn.
The words which tumble out my heart
get caught in my throat
and wither before they’re born.
Eat your heart out on
a day dedicated to
overconsumption.
It’s a white dress day
and quite the black tie affair –
though a short-lived one.
The tumbling dice,
raised with a silent prayer,
show smiling faces.
They love a hero
but what they love even more
is watching one fall.
I fight for glory
upon the fields of war and
my name will live for-
