Supernova

How long until I learn to live?
It takes a whole life
It lasts
As long as it lasts

I walk toward what I thought was the edge
Waiting for the day
Everything might shift
And change it does

With each tick of time
Desires crash through my mind
Like armies storming quiet lands

Supernovas burst
Stardust undone
But when what I want arrives
It's no longer what I need
For I’ve already become someone else

How long until I learn to live?
It takes a whole life
Lessons come with every rise
Monday or Friday
Every day teaches in disguise

Do I close my eyes, or face it?
Do I open my arms to pain?
While I run from sorrow
Love runs from me again

How long until I learn to live?
It takes a whole life
Lessons come with every rise
Monday or Friday
Every day teaches in disguise

A new sun burns
In a fallen sky
Fragments of my heart
Reform in cosmic lullabies

Nebulas and stars
Planets breathe with light and death
New constellations
Sketch what’s left

Weak or strong?
Who commands this mortal fate?
Chasing butterflies of delusion
Entangled in the net of age

How long until I learn to live?
It takes a whole life
Lessons come with every rise
Monday or Friday
Every day teaches in disguise

Where do I get off?
What’s the final station?
Where hides my ever-after salvation?

In the end
It’s just my heart
Filtering the universe’s light
Seeing what it wants to see
Spinning verses endlessly

Fighting windmills made of dreams
