Our Only Respite
Our Only Respite
I hear the gush of water
On your smartphone
It's the only thing that
Helps me sleep
It reminds me of days
Days when rivers flowed freely
It reminds me of the time
When the trees danced to the winds
It reminds me of a time
When this river overflowed with love
But it's all gone now
The lands lay barren
And trees have forgotten to dance
Our only hope is the gush of water on your smartphone
That seems like our only respite
