Stray
John Samaras
Why do you run away?
Beautiful little stray
Someday you’ll finally find
That there’s nowhere to hide
Why are you troubled now?
Were you ever, anyhow?
I’ll cast a passing glance
A familiar face, older now
The thread that you’re weaving
Far from eternal
There is no beginning
There never was
Trying to measure up
Constantly to standards of
The one thing that you’re not
You tell yourself, quite a lot
It’s time to douse the flame
Just give in to the rain
Nothing’s impossible
Except for everything
The thread that you’re weaving
Far from eternal
There is no beginning
There never was
