--- Understand ---

Just
Breathe
There's no hurry

The words will come
And they will stay
This time
They will not abandon you

Kites
Waves
That's what they said
That's what I heard

Youth
Frailty
Gaiety
A kind word whispered

Blurred lines
Clouds of stones
Moving where the wind blows

A child playing with a pen

Do you understand me?
Do I understand me?
Does it matter?

The dim light of the hour...

Candlesticks
Flesh and bones
The truth which only the heart knows

But words are lies
And words are gone
Words
I cannot rely on

Solitude now
Stillness now
Still...

Scatter words away
'Cause you've got to try
Anyway
