Saving Grace

about

created in Covid-19 2020 seclusion

lyrics

“Perhaps your fear of passing judgment on me
is greater than mine in receiving it.” - Giordano Bruno 1600 AD

A day without a yesterday
Years fade inside you
I chanced to look another way
And now I cannot find you

Do you understand that this moment
Will ripple forever?
Can I touch you from a distance?
You are my anomaly

I did not foresee this Viral Quarantine in time
I never dreamt of being so alone
2020 hindsight in emotional isolation
I miss you, my saving grace

Local conditions overwhelm your global perspective

Zero Sum initiated
Nothing I say here now
Can take the blame for our trajectory
Freewill disavowed

Am I unique in that I never had imaginary friends?
The alluring charm of make-believe
Tricked the flock but I just could not pretend

With an overwhelming sense of passion
A brutal dyssynchrony
And solitude extremis
Untwinning our helicity

The fear of loss is complicated
And hope is never sated

Reality in suspension
Fondling fantasies
Vying for attention
Foreplay with mythology
CP Symmetry Violation
"A day without a yesterday"
Now you interest me
Asymptomatic reverie
The bitter bouquet of entropy
Like an aromatic cancer
Wafts through to a waiting end

Toss a penny down the wishing gravity well
Some things you never can foretell

Remorse as a harbinger of conviction
Leaves a most unsettled resolve
Replete of salvations of any kind
Indeed, 'twould be a bitter taste
For an unsuspecting soul to swallow
On any good day

The PRECESSION of Love
Coupled with the OBLIQUITY of Faith
Begets the ECCENTRICITY of our union

Live apart or grow together
Forgo the miserable in between
Stagnation trends toward death forever
So live life
Extreme!

Progressive imperfection
You are my saving grace
Memories fade by the square of the distance in time
Reduced and simplified
My saving grace
