No exemption

No exemption Guaranteed No inception Flower seed

Guide me to your leader No time to waste Messages to deliver Letters to be written Burned after reaching Someone debriefing Is there a leafling? Or some kind of a king Follow the trail Hand holding hand No one behind Ship coming soon Taking me back One afternoon Then I’ll be back

How long has this been going on and where? Right under our noses and between our eyes Still going on here and there, everywhere One day you’ll see it too, one day you’ll rise

Character’s border lines are blurry By you told once again not to worry

See the answers kept changing Sometimes they even turned into Questions? Then the distraction arranging Some fun, some not so much so One two three, yellow ranging Sometimes yes and others no The answer lies in the question

Fire breath Angel death

Unmistakably you One thing for sure If all else goes to hell Footsteps left were yours

Your tiny hands Dragged me from the depths of the ocean Excavated my bones from the burial site

If you’re waiting for a sign This is it If you’re in need of reminding I am here

And on this planet’s surface I walk alone Waiting for you To stay awake this once

Rewind the tape and press play Are you there then? Am I?

Now all the songs lead me to you And all the books yell at me too They shake the leaves right off the spine How long have I been calling you?*
