Afterglow

Together forever to shine like the sun
Meeting on one breath and then forced to go

Open expression in time on the run
Sharing thoughts that we would never know
Hard to know and then to understand the path of your afterglow

Everything we witness is everything we know
What you say and leave is who you'll be and what they'll know

Open expression in time on the run
Blocking thoughts that we will never know
Hard to know and then to understand the path of your afterglow

Looking back to feel the inflection
The time does not seem right to flood the plain with aching doubt
The rituals of rite do not always help us out
We do not know the parts to keep and what to just leave out
We can lose our way

Moving on to feel the connection
With the time that we are given there's so much to put in play
Can we riddle out the senses and determine what's at stake
There is no time to manage, only what we have today
Flowing out over all of space

Everything we witness is everything we know
What you say and leave is who you'll be and what they'll know

Open expression in time on the run
Sharing thoughts that we would never know
Passing on an ember of the glow
Hoping this will form our legacy
Hard to know and then to understand the path of your afterglow
