Pond Song

from Arch Stanton by Arch Stanton

/

lyrics

Afternoon on empty hills again,
baking ground beneath my feet,
aching for a break from solitude
in the sprawling August heat.

Sometimes a sign of life comes echoing
across the windy plain to me,
the distant sound of laughter beckoning,
too far away for me to see.

Skim the surface of a silent pond
locked between two barren fields,
fading in the arid stillness here.
Can’t remember how it feels:

skin on skin beneath the cool of night
and the soft reprieve of stars,
searching through the singularity
for everything we called ours.
