In Monotones

Our horizon, blurry
Waves increase
The silent wind gusts at once

And by dusk, the sun's aghast
A storm's brewing
Dark clouds, marching in

We run strong
Only to see our steps
But in the same place

We run strong
Only to realize
It was our hearts drifting

We run strong
Only to feel nothing
But indifference

Until our feet sore
And our hearts soar
From these fleeting seasons

Making up the routine
We are trying to escape
And go back to, all at the same time

Until the waters lay low
And the heart beats once more
For a fight we cannot fight alone

For all the reasons we once forgot
And all the life we once had
We push forward

Until we sail pass the brewing storm
And push for the distant shores

Shall we remain but ourselves
Sharpened, learned, polished
Yet, still flawed and fallible

It may not make sense
Nor will we see it best
But as a roundabout it may seem

Until the light kisses the horizon
'Til we see the dawn
Shall we again be reminded

It's never aimless
Nor meaningless
That we live in seasons

For in seasons shall we encounter
Isolation for the extremes
An upgrade of our axis

That we never will meet
In monotones
