The Vigil - Proto-Kaw

I stand next to the window

I hover by the door

I play each second for it’s maximum

And then find out what it’s for

I’m in the competition now

The duration of the game

I’ll bear no repetition

No two are quite the same

There’s a love so amazing

It’s a life that turns the tide

This elusive thing we’re chasing

Is the one to stand beside

I’ve got some intuition

The inspiration comes and goes

But it all pales in comparison

To this truth which I propose

We were never alone, for it’s chiseled in stone

There’s a place in the heart that reveals it

We can run for a time, but the mountain we climb

Is a door that is closed — something seals it til'

We’re standing outside — wanting in

There’s a love so amazing

It’s a life that turns the tide

This elusive thing we’re chasing

Is the one to stand beside
