樹海 (Jukai)

Stunner coda I wish to own

Singing lullabies, quivering,

so we too may find heaven in

this night's blue chemical veil


Clichéd major chords, celestial ichor

Struggling through upstrokes

with my less dominant hand

doing it all for the music and this life


oh, Seichō, Wataru, down-strokes were heavier

minor chords were stronger

the slow cadence of sadness in the ballad

cuts through the insomnia better


to live is to commit to today's boundaries

to die is to seek beyond known mysteries

i willfully choose to hang with the spirits

who wanted more than all of this...
