Towers
Roberto E. DeBourg
Up and above on your tower
As days and the sky pass you by
Watching the showers and flowers
From your flying kite every night
Hugging your time and your power
And hiding out all of your ties
Filling up faster each hour
And fearing the tide might be high
I've seen the face of the striking adult
Shading the love in the eyes of the child
Your heart was a house with a welcoming
door
Words on the walls, welcome
mat on the floor
Loathing the distance between us
Chewing your well lit up cry
Swallowing all of your feelings
Choosing to run and to hide
Look around, dive inbound
Run away now be found
Be yourself, do not fear
Keep your feet on the ground
Now that we seem so collected
Knowing it all once again
All of our wrongs are perfected
Learning to dance in the rain
We walk like ghosts in a town that has grown
Towers keep rising as high as the sun
Cut to the chase, let the sad clown appear
Holding your hand through your nightmares and fears
You seen me drowning in mud of my own
Losing my north as they haunted my home
we keep on fighting this winless affair
gaining new wrinkles and losing our hair
Lose your crown, dive inbound
Find your way, look around
Love thyself, do not fear
Love again, lose the frown
Now that the fields have been flooded
With pieces of people and wine
Climb on your horse passed the
glory
And ride till the end of the night
And after the fog dissipates
And we see the faces again
All of our wrongs will be right
Learning to vanish the pain
See the world, fellow men
Unalike, but the same
Walking tall, unashamed
Now we dance in the rain
