Weight of the World

Winter leaves its scars on us all

You still can't believe
That you'd accept the reprieve
Despite the excitement of the sound
That detached you from the crowd
When the foliage recedes
Contracting one more disease
Hidden in the fog that engulfs and surrounds
What was lost has now…

Do you remember waiting patiently outside
When the delivery to the shop had just arrived
The special moment after months of speculation
As you saw the final cover the first time
Held aloft you felt the weight
Like a trophy you had won

Ten stubbed out Embassy lay scattered on the floor
The silhouette behind the curtain disappeared from sight once more

With the flick of a switch when the light ran away
And the last scraps of daylight abandoned
Instead of feeling secure inside the cozy retreat
There were noises just outside on the landing

You shouldn't try to keep your secrets
And then just run off to confess
I'm sure you've got your own reasons
To fight the movement to suppress
Acting parts in your own theatre

The final part of any space flight is re-entry and splashdown (or landing if you're Russian). 4000 degrees of burning heat protected by just a heat shield.

It's over baby it's over

Don't refrain
Have no regrets
You've made your choice

Here's a dance that even you can do,
