"The golden platitudes"
The golden platitudes
When we caved in to fear
The broken attitude
When we let winter get near
High spirits and lost hope
In tall buildings reaching for the sky
Desperate sensations waiting to throw
Themselves to bottomless lies
The world shrugged
And our promises forgot
Every circle ends
And our promises repeat
A testament to the mood
The cold silence reaches us
An echo in the room
Empty space between walls
Make a monument of the sky
Raise a mirror to the sun
A heart totally eclipsed
Minute upon hour elapsed
Let the tide turn back again
Rendezvous of past tenses
Let the time pass without strain
Let go of present senses
The world shrugged
And our promises forgot
Every circle ends
And our promises repeat
... Happy 2010.
