Vague and General

I love to watch waves and pirates from afar.
Do they like me?
Does it matter much?
There are so many more things to do tonight,
Like eat.
But,
Tonight I am high,
Dreaming up of whatever to do
About them all, them all out there,
About me and you.

Maybe we’re in transition,
Moving between the times.
Moving between worlds,
Moving between minds.
But of course, we’re in love
Lest I never forget.
But of course, but of course.

Leaping to a call, pursuing an answer
Forgetting the wonders of all we can do.
They can put raindrops to music,
They can put heaven on a page.
A canvas to last for all of time?
A memory of all, or a slice of mine.
Powerful in beauty – to define an age.
We shall fall and cycle as the rain.
I’m sorry for their details,
I'm sorry for their pain.
