I need to free my mind from me
So that perfection will delay swallowing me
That the spark that was lit that night they rolled in their
bed in passion that defined me
This sixty-five years later in my mind where they went
where passionate sparks go upon extinction
Me soon to follow to that dust
Then in time
She picked up a handful of dust and knew all humanity was in her
hand and by picking it up all humanity moved forward
