Here and now

The future keeps waiting at the gate
But the past is the place where I was born
Wish of getting back to when I was eight
Where the only pain was a stupid little thorn

Staring at the queen of my chessboard
Waiting for the fate and its first move
No need to win the loneliness award
And I don’t have anything to prove

I know there is a kid inside me
And I am not afraid to shut him down 
He sees things that I don’t see
I am the king but he has the crown

The only time we live is called present
And the only pieces left are my best friends
So being strong it’s the new intent
even though I don’t really see the ends

Maybe I am not that wise and strong
Life is a chess match and my queen is gone
But I am not so weak, don’t get me wrong 
I will keep on playing until is done
 

Here, Now

Over, above her, a step into the cover
Under, beyond her, I stop until I wonder 
Up in the sky, there is a reason why
Down in the ground, no reason to be found
