Sparkle (Notevember 2023, #28)
The journey nears its end.
A song about zero-sum games, bad chemistry, and strategies for conflict resolution.
One more walk in the snow
I can feel your trepidation coming closer
One more breath, then I go
It’s the hardest thing to know that it’s all over
Now, what did I do?
I cannot recall
I’m standing here holding
A drool-covered ball
I wanted to fly
But I ain’t ever gone so far before
Travelling high
And now there’s no horizon anymore
The sun is slowly sinking
Another day is done
The traffic jams are shrinking
While I’m sitting up here, thinking
Above me, stars are blinking
A bonus entry for Notevember 2021. A fantastic mess of an image. A song containing all the words.
Last week left me all verklempt
Let’s catch up and restart
Why not make a new attempt
To patch up two broken hearts
Peaks and valleys, rivers daunting
But the greatest I have seen
Leaves all other miracles wanting;
‘Tis the “gold among the green”
