The World Moved In

 

You don’t say a thing

You might wonder why

I stand still

But time goes by.

I think the world moved in.

 

Young love, it should be carefree

But these waves have gotten heavy

Because the world moved in.

 

Squirmed are all insides

The burden of a century

The world moved in.

 

No fix, no cue, no case example.

I scream at you, Routine.

Your presence is my pillow

Your absence is my conquest

But the world moved in.

 

Lives can be changed

Minds can be opened

Perceptions can develop

If you let the world move in.

 

You sit on wooden chairs

You watch your children grow

You reminisce

The world knocks on your door.

 

I learn to see the world

With brand new eyes

I let the world move in.
