DNA

Pink and lilac petals Falling from the sky Softly kiss the branches Of freshly watered oleander Warmth awakens Start of the day Waving good morning Through the leaving clouds Talking voices in the minds Try to pull us side to side Away from the moment Out of the present This could be all we have Prevent the need to look back Or forward to the future This could be all we have All we have Defend the need to look bad Go forward to the future 'Cause this could be all we have This could be all we have All we have The names engraved in our DNA The stories we share just by being here Are so much larger than one soul alone
