How Come
Suzanne Mondoux · 12 June 2020
Take me back to a time where I knew who I was What happened to the moon, the stars, and the sun There’s no salt left in the sea
How come the days have changed How come my reflection is gone How come the passage of time is but a whisper in space
Where have I been to find myself here Is this all there is in this space and time There is no more tomorrow
How come this is so How come there are no more places to go How come birds don’t fly anymore
All the ice is melted There’s too much water but no more ships There is no more wind
How come flow of life ceased How come momentum stagnant How come air suffocates
My galaxy is gone to a far away place I looked onto its last glimmer of light So magnificent, such delight
How come no more day and only night How come all sound silenced How come the Milky Way fades away
In a place I once knew so well Where’s my reflection, where’s my footprints What is this place now my home
How come I seek the wonder where I am How come I seek to know who I’ve become How come I fear to know who I am
