Until Next Tide in Choke

I chase these days in short strides
I shade this state until next tide
Turning leaves cross highway lines
Northern lights that cleanse my mind
Spotted glass reflects the hours
Signal strong
Why these questions loom unanswered
With no resolve
Why these questions loom unanswered
I chase these days in short strides
I shade this state until next tide
I won't be leaving
This ship will sail for days
To settle the storm
I'll set course and drift on through
Read beyond the shift in these days
Saving face means more each night
Patterned thought results in the same
Falling short brings more insight
Bought another day through this failing grace
These words consistently lead nowhere
But my focus keeps me growing
With every chord
This ship will sail for days
For days and weeks through
Read beyond the shift these days
Saving face means more each night
Patterned thought results in the same
Falling short brings more insight
Bought another day through this failing grace
These words consistently lead nowhere
But my focus keeps me growing
With every chord
I won't be leaving
This ship will sail for days
To settle the storm
