Limits

Misty Boyce


Limit one: You’re born
Limit two: You’re gone
The limits in between are real or make-believe
Minutes, weeks, and years
Some imagined fears
Inestimable lot: We’re here and then we’re not
We sit between four walls
In bodies under the law
Limited in deed unlimited in dreams
So sleep with eyes aware
Try anything you dare
And when you know enough get limitless in love

Catch yourself afire
Call my God a liar
Burn like angel wood
Look on and call it good
Keep my brother’s son
Cool my lover’s gun
Fill these empty words
Give a man what he deserves
Yeah, sit and watch it all
Hear the people call
And when you’ve heard enough
Get limitless in love
