when it flows

when it flows from the fingers

and turns to stone

it shatters with the touch

feel the air

breathe it in

turn the corner

take the bend

give or take the bend

it's a spiralling cork-screw path towards you

it's a sinking

twisted path from me to you

for a second i saw you so clearly

for a moment i knew you so dearly

i looked into your eyes and into your mind

you were laughing like a statue come to life

the subtle piano raindrops

the creaking of the buildings and their cellos

the wind was our violin

the sky was a symphonic mural of stars

hiding behind perfectly placed clouds

because everything is the way it is

and everything is perfect in their imperfections

and everything is placed the best

and it is now

and it is here

and tomorrow is another now

waiting to happen

the roar of an action silences all the words

the cry of an accomplishment

drowns the whimper of ten thousand words

and we live in our actions and our reactions

and we live in our actions and our reactions
