Gleam - Redding

swallowing

the lights are flashing as you flee

you choose to run

because you go with what’s easy

when you could crawl

back up the hill and claim your peace

you could stop now

but not without the rest of me

calling, will you be falling into gleam?

silently

your world crashes at my feet

this book that reads

of serenades is not the key

eventually

the noise will catch you as you sleep

and on your back

i’m sure you’ll see me following

calling, will you be falling into gleam?
