Sparrows

Joy of my life turned numb

Cold as the icy breaths that cloud my sight

As I step, as I step

Again and again

Down these grey roads

Laid out at my frozen toes

Fly away, fly away hopes

To where the sparrows rest their wings

Somewhere green with azure lighting sprawled above

And crowns the tips of their wings when in flight

But take my heart, the hollow stone,

Light it inside with the same sweet power

And maybe the dust will blow out of the attic in my skull

Clearing the way for cognisance to take place

Spreading like ivy vines through the grout

In between the bricks of those attic walls

Like the speed of a smile on a dreary day

Oh dreary day

Take me away

Numb

Numb like you never knew my name

And I step, and I step

Down the way, down the way

Laid through out my day

Come back, come back say

To where you sparrows once did sleep

Here where all is metal and stone and flickering lights

And crown your wings in flight once more

And take my heart back

Now returned to the state it was born

Lit inside with the same raw power

And oh joy

Fleeting, maybe returning?

Are you on those wings?

Do you miss me?
