It escaped from my grasp
with the wave, with the wave
I found it there no further a walk
because we walked, we walked
and I sought to dig it from deep
where it stuck, it got stuck
no longer could the lid from the jar
open in the time I couldn’t, the time
all it needed was a source of light
the dark sets in at noon, the dark
after hours it fell down harder
I let it fall, and it fell
tightly wound as a rope around my hands
I’m tied up now, tied up
loose ends taunt me as they never have
now I can’t escape, escape
so I sat down to breathe
waiting for peace, my peace to come
