Brighter Skies, an Advent Song

I would follow you down
Pass through the sky to the ground
Floating, we’d not make a sound
I would follow you down

Well you left me this time last year
In the midst of our chaos and fear
Pieces by pieces disappear
Why’d you leave me this time last year?

With fingers pointed up to the sky
As if knowing I’m gonna ask why
But seasons have no alibi
With fingers pointed up to the sky

Silent you’ve seemed all this time
And if I knew it was the end, I’d be fine
But so confusing is this death amidst this life
And silent you’ve seemed all this time

Maybe you’ll appear once again
Pick me up and call me friend
It’s a rhythm I can’t comprehend
Still I’m hoping you’ll appear once again
Still I’m hoping you’ll appear once again
Oh come back to me, come back to me, friend
Oh come back to me, come back to me, friend

NOTES:

I was reflecting on a friend’s blog entry. I began to think of how the trees shed their skin and the foliage, much like the sun, departs from our lives.
