Cosmic Timing*

[Intro] Her headlights carved a fading trail, Neon dusk let shadows sail. A card remained—its ink would gleam, Stars aligned in a fleeting dream. In some other frame, another time, Neon whispers would still align. Through shifting sands and astral tides, We'd chase the stars where fate collides. [Verse 1] Her laughter cracked the canyon's air, Turquoise stones caught sunlight's glare. A Bradbury book in leather's creak, And Mars lay hidden in the lines she'd speak. [Chorus] Beneath the neon's fragile thread, Lie paths of stars the wanderers tread. A silent song the stars confide, Lost in the pull of the desert tide. [Verse 2] Time unraveled in canyon air, Her voice a spark, the silence rare. Static hummed as stars unwound, The veil was lifted—dreams unbound. [Bridge] Beyond the glow of fleeting flame, Lies the void we dare not name. [Chorus] Beneath the neon's fragile thread, Lie paths of stars the wanderers tread. A silent song the stars confide, [Verse 3] Lost in the pull of the desert tide. Her headlights carved a fading trail, Neon dusk let shadows sail. A card remained—its ink would gleam, [Pre-Outro] Stars aligned in a fleeting dream. In some other frame, another time, Neon whispers would still align. Through shifting sands and astral tides, We'd chase the stars where fate collides. [Outro] Through shattered glass and nickel chimes, Her coffee cup counts stolen times. The desert knew what daybreak brings— Moths drawn to fluorescent wings. Where headlights once carved crystal trails, Now dawn bleeds through her rearview veil. Some stories end where they begin: Neon whispers on desert skin.
