In Our Own Time

I, in my own mind

Have never existed

As anything more than an entity

A volatile mixture of will and compassion

An animal with an identity

I, in my own time, have seen many changes

I'm ready to pass to you all I know

A silent transmission by far the best option

As worse for me, never, a spookly glow

How strange to stand beside you peering at the stars

A range without a meaning, other than they are

How strange to stand beside you peering at the stars

A range without a meaning, other than they are

You in your own time, would come to regard me

As someone you sadly must overthrow

I won't see it coming, the thing that will end me

They gracefully found and I'll just let go

Caught in our own time

Oh, how very different

To think of the worlds that we all have known

A conscious collective is somewhat ironic

Out here in the west where we both have grown

How strange to stand beside you peering at the stars

A range without a meaning, other than they are

How strange to stand beside you peering at the stars

A range without a meaning, other than they are
