Holding On To Nothing

After holding on to nothing for awhile

I glanced to see what waited there

A shadow leaning easy by a window

A scent of something recent in the air

Nothing runs faster than time at night

But time slows down every day

All those hours with nothing to do

Holding nothing again today

Sunny days can fool you

They can look wet with rain

And even words from a friend can bring back

The pain

Memories come back on their own

Birds fly south in the sky

Pictures are drawn pencil sketches at dawn

Wishes that I too could fly

Sunny days can fool you

They can look wet with rain

And even words from a friend can bring back

The pain

All the pictures I see are smiling at me

But today I’m somebody new

Not really knowing just coming and going

A stranger just passing through
