Over And Over Paroles

Steals from wave to wave

Silent from the surface

Catching in the space

A breath before returning

To the graceful silky sway

Gliding ‘cross a mirror

Of our ever-twisting fate


Over and over

Above and below

Will you pity us
Around and around

Will you pity us

When we’ve run aground?


Careless and indifferent

We fail to watch the tide

Creeping up our bow of luxury

Inside we sit without a word

For fear

Of what we might hear ourselves say

And then we’d have to change

Cover the picture

Turn away your gaze
