Soul Syncopation

Poem

Water burning, sizzling sky

I’m looking for you

But there’s nothing I can find

Your face is smiling, white teeth shine

But your shadow is fading

Beneath the ground

Nothing’s honest, nothing’s just

I’m chasing shadows, 

That you have cast

There’s light in the crossroad, there’s hope in the sky

I’m just a wanderer

Who wants to fly?

I hear your whisper in the air

Kill despair

The new road that makes me care

Smile, fly, I will try

Road is long, train is slow

But I feel you’re there

To cast a smile or a blow

You’re running, walking, burning fat

Feeling traces

I’m no wolf but a crazy cat 

I hear your whisper in the air

Kill despair

The new road that makes me care

Smile, fly, I will try

Your face looming, your hands extend

You see a wanderer

But welcome a man

Your touch is tender your grin is true

You’re feeling my warmth

And I feel yours too

Water burning, sizzling sky

I’m looking for you

But there’s nothing I can find
