Life's Work

How long does the love last
Here and then fading past the point
Proven through abstraction, through the absence of concern for
The hollow avoidance revealing a door behind another door
Revolving around the fragments of resentment

Learning to trust in spite of it is life's work
Learning to trust in spite of it is life's work

Reconcile the child through hostile family
Rupture is tradition, born into dissonance
Blamed for all the shadows of those who remain blind to themselves
Meeting in mirrors of deflected projections

Learning to trust in spite of it is life's work
Learning to trust in spite of it is life's work
Learning to trust in spite of it is life's work

Blue herons flew over our house as it burned down
Anger lingering on in all that's left of it has left and gone
Nowhere and everywhere like edges of water I
Reach each lesson and find my way through the endings

Learning to trust in spite of it is life's work
Learning to trust in spite of it is life's work
Learning to trust in spite of it is life's work
Learning to trust in spite of it is life's work

Life's work
Life's work
Life's work
Life's work
Life's work
