Let Me Slide

Lyrics kinda...for the New Year...

 

Let me slide, Lord

 

I won't wear black
to mourn the death
of laughing mouths

 

I won't spit out the rain
to curse the salty taste
of yesterday's thoughts

 

If you'll just let me slide

 

I'll stop thinking in blue
the color of sidewalks
no longer walked over

 

I'll stop showering
in crystal tears of steam
that once fogged the walls

 

Oh, if you'll just let me slide

Well done. I get the image of asking on bended knee for a day not marked on the judgement books, just to live without worry of judgement or having to follow any strict rules. Or maybe asking for one thing in the past to be makred out, forgotten. Easy read, and I am not sure I got your meaning, but this spoke volumes in few words!

I love the easy flow of this. Your imagery is beautiful and it does have a lyrical quality. Your words bring beautiful and enchanting pictures to mind. I love it.
