Someday

Someday this will end and our jewels will all be in place
We'll have won the map and dug up the mohagany chest oozing with riches and light
But for now, only elements of promise contain our absolute hope
Nothing else deserves such trust
So When?
And Where?
And How?
Will the minutes creep by or will they chase after the hours and the seconds
The months and the years
The questions and the confusion
That breathes through my brain
There's comfort in sweet daydreams
So I'll kiss his chest and all the while, across the way leaning on brick,
Stands my heart
Stands the choice of where to lead and how to guard
Every X holds a treasure and every "why?" brings an answer from He who knows where curved dots lead and where low and high bumps lie
Someday we'll see what was predestined and how we ever got through it because right now
I feel as if I fight just to fight it and then bleed just to win it
Selfless sacrifice runs down tears, touching both sinful souls and innocent hands
How can there ever be purpose from such broken bones?
The toothless smiles frazzle emotion
Yet a million words will never reach one heart
I'm sick of such hypocrisy!
Just lending a moment
Would help you to see
That maybe we will one day be
Caught up in forest hills naked and free, but giving all we have left
To that one toothless man

And I'll praise the mountains
While laughing away every ideology belonging to fools who have no sense but think they hold the earth because they are who they are and that means they'll be
A mind...
A change...
A rescue plan.
Rescue me then! But these thoughts birthed ages ago and not once have I experienced focused results
My eyes are open, but your mind is closed
Someday we'll both have tears in our eyes.
From joy?
From pain?
Well, I Don't Know, but someday we will finally see
If we were ever meant to be...

Dancing on hilltops
