Grow

By Ryan Johnston

The black rocks collide

With the grey contrast

The floating clouds, 

Cascade over mountain tops

It's like heaven is falling

So far away, so beautiful

So close now, so meaningful

It's just like you, 

Someday the clouds 

Will flow like water

Pouring down to me, 

Down to where I lay

Where they will cover me, 

Like a dream

They will take my heart, 

Floating days away

Away from the dead, 

And all of the dying things

And on our arms is the ink

That we carved 

From moments like these

And underneath, in our veins

Our blood flows like a river

Collecting the debris

Of harder times, 

And all our broken dreams

They cascade from our hearts

And from our tired hands

Where they are penned, 

And they will pour like rain

And while you sleep,

These words will dance

Around your tired mind

The memories 

Will float around you

And stick to you like snow

Your tears will fall away

Deep into the soiled ground

Where something new will grow
