Into the now

A tribute to Stevie Nicks I believe in the collision In this world's deep, gathering night When your gaze, and your slow-smile Douse my fears in sudden light. And I can, step by step, approach the now, And in your absences, I drink the moments that allow. Why did we bring these children in, Love them with a furious heart, When the world at dusk is closing in And tears their future right apart? We just move, step by step into the now. Do you think that we could find each other, And walk this broken road together? This longing is a tidal pull, When your hand's not mine to hold. Can I move, step by step into the now, Without you? The architectures of our worlds Are crumbling into dust and sound. Take my hand, don't let us fall down, This love is the only solid ground. My love will hold us, weightless, in this instant, Suspended, in the now. Do you think that we could find each other, And walk this broken road together? This longing is a tidal pull, When your hand's not mine to hold. Can I move, step by step into the now, Without you? The neon of the twilight bleeds on concrete canyons. The sirens sing their hollow psalms. But your breath is a new grammar, A regeneration of this reality. The last barricade. The final alchemy. I know that we can find each other! We'll walk this broken road together! This love is a tidal force! Take my hand, alter our course! We will move, step by step into the now, With you! We have to move, step by step into the now, With you! Step by step... Into the now... Our worlds collapse... But love... is how.
