Teenage Blunders

Let’s sleep in black moonlight,
Bask in the warm sun,
Adventures of the foolish,
Sweet clarity bring me sight.

Drunk on elusive meaning,
These shadows cut me so careful,
Trapped in eternal sunrise,
Wise soul tell me I’m dreaming,

Stifle a bumbling laugh,
Beam a forgotten day,
Oh gods of joyous glee,
Please tell me this isn’t so rash.

Distant life, murky mind,
Roaring wind and elated heart,
Memories hold me gently,
These days have been so kind
