Between the minutes that pass us by
Corroded and caressed by green eyes
Shaped by seconds that refuse to die
Standing- just you and I

Piano keys give birth to musical life
With D-sharps our promised strife
And B-minors our quiet five
Standing- just you and I

The cello is playing in the background now
Ringing so clear that its too loud
Reverberating against the walls some how
Standing- our liturgy's vow

With nothing more to do but say good bye
And give rise to testimonies that die
I'll turn away and you'll sigh
Standing- you and I

I made a promise that night
They said we should keep it alive
But eventually it subsides
Standing- you and I

"The orchestra plays on," they say
With not another minute to go anyways
Divided roads caress the flames
Standing- seasons yet to be tamed

Outside, winter seems so cold
Stands and mounds of heartless snow
As white as a house without windows
Standing- repetition's throne

And still- You and I
You refuse to give up this time
Full circle with interludes that form a line
From you to I.

"Standing"

2005

Its not my best work. I was a bit off this morning.
