[Spill]


---



A slope in the dark by the sky in the night 


Under the moon and the twinkling light 


Above all the mines and the roots of the trees


Across from the dark and the sparkling seas

--

They say we will call and hear no reply


The light it will dim and the bright moon will die 


The glow light won't shine on these smooth rolling hills


This earth is a drop and the old bucket spills


---

[Exit]



Where is the rain?

In the night with the song

I was here when it came

When I woke it was gone


Where is the light?

When it shone in the day

I watched in the night 

But the glow's gone away


Where is the sun?

When you shook me awake

You said we should go

But it was a mistake

[Bright Sunrise]


--


A golden haze 

In the bright sun rise

Of these happy days

And the bluing skies


--

[Clock]

--


Won't it stop?

The stupid clock


It shouts the truth 

And dwindles youth 


It stretches our ages

Yellows the pages


It won't stop telling

Won't stop yelling 


 It will not slow,

And our ages show 


That time won't wait

There's one fixed rate 


So I can't stop

My idiot clock

--


// distraction


---


The world is one great distraction from its one great purpose: God's glory.

[To the Quiet]


---


To the quiet come, and rest 

Worship Him whose love is best 

Love so true that all else fades

Like imitations cheaply made


---

// now


--

The time for action is now; we have all eternity in which to sleep.

// memory


--

In the end we all become a memory.
