December Songs 13 (2017)

December Songs 13 is a band that I saw for the first time this past year at Festy, Elephant Revival, and their song Petals. It's a great song and magnificent video!

Changes will continue, but I’ll never give in to

the woman that you’ve assumed me to be.

Thought that I had seen you,

Could feel me beneath you,

Beneath a distant longing

to arrive.

There’ll be no more waiting,

No sorrowful blaming.

I’m sitting right where I’ve wanted to be.

I am and I am not

these petals pressed into

these pages unnumbered.

I am and I am not.

But then I remember.

And when I remember,

It seems that I become more of what I remember.

Which is not necessarily insanely related

or jaded or tainted by bleak memory.

In fact I’m enjoying

the lifting of morning,

These petals intended for giving release.
