speedkiller


faster than the world is turning
speed ancient winds, unveil a burning
between the ranks of ether sky
tis the same that bid to us goodbye

in spite of all our flaws
our blood still streams in vein
as the air comes screaming in our ears
unsung, lamented in its tears
unsure if jaded in its years

perched atop the wings
of our disconnected spirits
dare we soar above the life we once left to be inherent
to the child in us all, ever so young at heart
though an elder now forever, dare in his age never depart
to begin anew, to become one
with the wind so blue
in the sky among
our waning dreams
and fairy tales
our ancient themes
left to be unveiled

faster than the world is turning
in speed we rush through whims of yearning
for the past to hold us near
but tis the same from which we hide in fear
