dedicated to all that has burned.

Sometimes the beautiful thing needs to be shared
Passed around and collected
But sometimes the beautiful thing just needs to sit
A petal floating on the surface of the deep
Deep
Deep
Deep
Deep
Deep
Deep
Deep
Deep
Undisturbed and given time to steep

Sometimes the beautiful thing needs to be discussed
Drawn out and inspected
But sometimes the beautiful thing should not be stirred
A cat napping with a purr in its throat so deep
Deep
Deep
Deep
Deep
Deep
Deep
Deep
Deep
Untouched and given time to sleep

Sometimes the beautiful thing needs to be announced
Shouted about and dissected
But sometimes the beautiful thing is better kept secret
A feeling in the belly of a cave that's deep
Deep
Deep
Deep
Deep
Deep
Deep
Deep
Deep
Unmarked and given time to seep
Deep
Deep
Deep
Deep
Deep
Deep
Deep
Deep
Into the water
Into the air
Into the earth
Of a soul

And sometimes the beautiful thing is already burned deep
Deep

Branded a beautiful birthmark on the foundation of the universe
