Margins

You pressed your luck Against the grain Not quite enough Begin again It wasn't much And everything Push comes to shove In parting ways No spot marked go Collect along the way News travels slow But not away The story's told By moving frames A picture sold Or look away No stars unknown The dust remains A gathered storm Narrow escape When time adds it all Margins fade How the waters fall Drops of rain Watching the sun go out Wait for the weighing down Washing it all away A change of tone Or fall in place The link you hold Or broken chain A minor role A starring name Into the fold Not out of range When time adds it all Margins fade How the waters fall Drops of rain When time adds it all Margins fade How the waters fall Drops of rain When time adds it all Margins fade How the waters fall Drops of rain
