Lyric On #4: (subtitled) Definitely Not a Sonnet                  

                     
He burned like a candle…Flickered and flared
On a breeze, On a breath
On a moment in time.
Firefly in amber; Scorching and scathing
On a word. On a phrase
On a footnote in rhyme.
Floating and sinking
With the current…With the tide
He held tight to a spar on the sea.   
Held tight to a spar on the sea.

She fell like a leaf. Tumbled and tossed
On a whim; On a gasp,
On a thought in the night.
Will o' the wisp; Darting and dancing
On a tune. On a chord
On a moment of light.
Floating and sinking
With the current…With the tide
She held tight to a spar on the sea.   
Held tight to a spar on the sea.


They flew like the sparrow. Hungry and haunted
On an urge. On an impulse.
On an eddy of air
Hopeful romantics, restless and ruffled
On a quest; On a bet
On a wing and a prayer.
Floating and sinking
With the current…With the tide
They held tight to a spar on the sea.   
Held tight to a spar on the sea.
