A final blow
It ceased the noise
Sent ripples through the calmness

It sent away
What could have been
But ne'er had chance to happen

Now endless nights
And many a drink
Have led to only heartaches

Echos, they ring
Cries, they sing
But sorrow is incognizant

Ceaseless murmers
They'll never silence
They haunt my restless sleep

They have no heart
No soul, no feelings
They'll gain no pleasure greater

That's when I fade
Out, and away
Cast into the shadows of life

The mental zodiac
Infecting the mind
Burning it up with toil

Work and wonder
Mix, twist, plunge
Down and in through darkness

Brown and green
Blended with red
Sepia bleeds throughout

Now drowned in blue

Colors blend
Feelings mingle

Equivalents were hidden
Now dug up, resurfaced

Brought into life
Once again

Winds meet
Clouds part

Opening chance

What never had grace to pardon
Has now cleared the air

I can see
What left a hole
A gap in deep dark valleys

Now left alone
I wander the world
Stranded within the forest
