There is a bottom beneath
A deeper dark
A loosened grip
And then the floor parts
Uncounted seconds
Minutes, hours
Pass unseen
Lost to powers
Greater than the depths you’ve known
So fall as you will — but don’t let go
Tag: lost
Impermanence
In a world devoid of permanence,
There’s only one thing you should know:
The greatest thing you can possess
Is the ability to let things go.
Out of Reach
There’s a dream on the morrow
I’m afraid it’s quite the climb
Past the swamps of sorrow
Across the sands of time
There’s a dream on the morrow
But we’re still at today
No path for us to follow
But somehow, we’ll be okay.
Equilibrium
Once, the world fell into place
Held up by equilibrium
But all of us will stumble
No exemption for the least
And the depths will prove as cold as space
When the glow of stars has ceased
(No) Easy Answers
The quiet doesn’t tell me the answers
It only tells me to find them myself
No lightning from the sky for inspiration
No magical guide to give me some help
I’m lost in a nightmare that’s supposed to be mine
I have this dream I’ll find my way out
But until then I’m supposed to know what I’m doing
I guess I should probably figure it out.
Fragile
I feel no restoration
I see only death upon the hill
And turn away, filled with devastation
That my hope was so easy to kill
Fire and Ice
Every incident is anger
Every moment in between
Is the distance of the stars
The emptiness unseen
Every beauty is a danger
Every whisper is a scream
When all our peace ends in wars
And it doesn’t mean a thing
Dependence
Where is there to go
When the blind see more than me?
Someone must step forward
But here we hang upon each other’s sleeves.
There is nowhere to go
When every step leads to a fall;
There is no home for us
But the darkness that we bring.
Reason
When did the change occur?
When did reason travel ’round
To the dark side of a dark future
And there, run aground?
Why did it thus embark?
Why did it head that way?
Why did it not the warnings hark
And turn back towards the day?
I know not the impetus
I know not the time
I only know that it was lost
Somewhere along the line.
Adaptation
The lines were never there;
Edges have always shifted.
Suddenly I’m meant to care
The difference between tortured and gifted.
Now the world is filled with monsters;
Now forgiveness is unwise.
Where were those standards then,
When I saw darkness in your eyes?
