Avalanche - Sons of the Sea

Avalanche

In the blink of a year

Tidal wave of debris

Unrelenting and free

On my heels and I fear

Time

Like an arrow in my chest

Sent across salty air

As a child I didn’t care

Now I bleed like the rest

But there’s art

In that wave of debris

Most eyes would see a mess

But good things coalesce

When naysayers can see

So I’ll stand

And face that liquefied hell

What I fear now the most is the specter, the ghost of my past

It hurts still

Avalanche

An emergency

Has the chance to emerge

Of a seed on the verge of becoming a tree

Time

Like an arrow in my chest

Sent across salty air

As a child didn’t care

Now I bleed like the rest

Avalanche

An emergency

Most eyes would see a mess

But good things coalesce

When naysayers can see
