Between the beats

Day after day,
love fades away
like the moments that don't seem to last.
Night after night,
we'll just say "we're alright."
But I can't lie anymore and
you are not who you were before and
nothing is very much real anymore.
And I can sense
one of my turns coming through.
I feel
lost as an ancient art,
high as a rainbow arc,
free as a falling dark star....
 
Straight to the sunlight
in the chasm on the surface
you'll see the infinite glow.
Don't look so startled  
this is just a flashing glimpse
of one eternal spark.
Would you like to dim the lights?
Or rest between the beats?
Or contemplate the quiet segments?
Would you like something to smoke?
Would you like to take a trip?
Would ya?
Do you wanna take a dip?
 
Do you wanna leave the limelight?
Do you wanna wear the starlight?
When are we slipping awayy....
