Oh my word

How to begin

When it's more

Than you can take in.

Birds are flying

In the sky

Seagulls crying

Above you and I

Oh my word

When you are down

Lift your gaze

Up from the ground.

The sun is rising

In the sky

Unsurprising

Yet it catches the eye.

Sad days

Belong to the past

Only a fool

Could expect them to last

Fist clenched

Tears in the eyes

Awaiting the moment

When it subsides.

Birds are flying

Way up high

Seagulls crying

As am I

Sun is rising

In the sky

Unsurprising

Yet it catches the eye.

Heydays

Belong to the past

Only a fool

Could expect it to last

Fist clenched

Tears in the eyes

I stand alone

In diminishing light

Oh my word

Oh my word

Oh my word

Oh my word.
