Before and After

Perhaps your loss is given to those who listen for a sign.

In a recent conversation I detected my own confusion
coming up like waves and crashing into time that we
could have spent resolving what we're after.

Before and after, before and after.
I am catching up the bluebird, the bluebird of disaster
before and after, before and after.

I know I can be stronger, just like a willow bending.

The wind is beautiful with force and gale, it keeps me blending
conversation wilds. I am catching up the bluebird, the bluebird of disaster.

Before and after, before and after.
I am catching up the bluebird, the bluebird of disaster
before and after, before and after.
