Grains of Time

(collab of Bliss and Prophet)


Cacti in the sun
Prickle the passerby
Come too near
Leering at these clouds
Now
Blocking the delicious rays
needed

Soak up life's water
Hold it deep within,
Save it Inside,
For, There may come a Day
When,
The sun will overheat,
And dry you
from the inside, out

Outside In
The rightside
Within
From roots
Rooted deep
The ground
Anchors
All
The sky
Open
All around

Here,
the desert
is so flat
and massive,
You can
see the curvature
of
the earth,
and the sands
are countless
as grains
of
time
