Acquiescent Days

Acquiescent days don’t seem too far away
You can see them approach in the horizon
But the rain-filled clouds are approaching from behind
If I just could push myself a little further into the sun
And forget the things that have begun
I could push the beginning into something that should already
Have begun

A panoramic view I get from where I am
But all areas are covered in the morning mist
So if I wait for the mist to pass to make my choice
I won’t make it to the end of any path before the sun is gone
And the darkness that comes will cover the tracks
The benefit of knowing results in always
Being too late

Reach out from within
Grab the inside without
Disturbing the leaves

Mother, father, brother
Come on, believe me
Mother, father, brother
Come and relieve me
Sister, Sister
I cannot rely on you anymore
It is time to jump into the ocean

There’s no regret in sorrow
There’s only painful memories
But I’m not one to borrow
Past time miseries

If we retrace what we are
And realize what we’ve become
Then we know that we are not far
From what we want
