Answer the Question

Mostly Autumn

Thoughts blow around in your head, 
Like a wind that pretends, 
There is boundary, 
No boundary, no boundary. .. 

Slipping now to light confusion 
Skimming the time as you lay 
somewhere in between 
can't touch in between 

Sleep now, approaching a landscape 
Driven by engines of time 
Daylight far away 
Where in the world will you go 
Then someone flicks the switch 
And you jump across the divide 

I sometimes wonder what happens to us, 
When we fade like a flame, 
In the night 
Answer the question, 
Then wait for the answer 
You're here and have been, 
All the time 

Life passes from outside your head 
The day shines on all that you do 
But it's nearly over now 
The future a landscape 
Driven by engines of time 
Someone flicks the switch 
But you don't make the divide 

I sometimes wonder what 
happens to us 
When we fade like a flame, 
In the night, 
Answer the question 
Then wait for the answer 
You're here and will be 
For all of time...
