| Final Stay of Remembrance |
| by Jason Pierce |
Where we are
is where we've always been
And I will go with you
crossing the dunes to Black Point
Counting the life rings of broken branches
It was happiness, left unspoken
that set it all here
Praying at the failing of the altar
Pouring it out for credence
Dear, feeling
from the speaking moon
Hand and hand it all unfurled
Should've stayed on route
Driving the burden down the line
from impending hate
You and I took it for life
Summer sweat smelled through citronella
when the mosquitos came out
Biting and swelling me more and more
'Til it became harder and harder to breathe
You sang...
"Sweet Love take me away
King of the tides left me crumbling
While I'm left with nothing to say."
At your deliverance
Panorama closing in
playing time against it all
In narrow view of where it all began
with a rock under the bridge of the beach
chalked with our names
Forever to blame for our demise
mumbling of Angel's words
The gleam shine through the fray of severance
"Crying at your door
knocking in agony, ignored
Each gasp to let me in
as tears continued to pour"
Only love did me this way
Sweet moment of stumbling
On my final stay of remembrance.
