The Getaway

This is for my favorite band, the human beings

The faithful, the graceful, the tragic and the classic

The evidence of things unseen,

The book of light,

The mansions of the moon,

The bones of fir'aoun,

Recently discovered and everything but new

The doubters' doubts about it never made it untrue

Life, the gift, peace after pressure,

Can't remember how you came and  wanna bet on how you'll еxit

From the start, the only thing certain is thе end

Promised to all and none know not when

Heartbreak from yesterday is a fret for tomorrow

And leave today filled with anxiety and hollow

If you pray don't worry, and if you worry don't pray

I got that from Umi, it's a poem I heard her say

From the tall palace walls, to the mean teeth streets

I hope you get what you want and that you want what you need, Ameen.

So much beauty we forget to be reminded

That you can be anywhere and find it

So much beauty we forget then get reminded

That you can be anywhere, everywhere, and find it

Mashallah
