What secrets lie beneath the willow bark?

You craved the light but were already addicted to darkness.

The solstice sun draws near
And unchains memories
But the shadows of former fall upon it
And the summer muse
Appears unchanged

The veils worn are deadly ones
Concealing broken wings
Just time is what is needed
Time to untether strings
So give us sight to bear
See the world not there
For this mess is a tricky one
Some just waiting for it to be done
Next time reach out and take a stroll
You might save a broken soul.

Look up at the ground
Fall upon the stars

Dream with me
Dream to be

Set sail to the open sky
The great kingdom is nigh

Dream with me
Dream to see

Catch a falling cloud
Come back safe and sound

And dream with me
Right next to me.

In my possession is an armor,
Forged within my mind,
And greater than anything  of steel
My words.

Stepping out to a cold November rain
The sky we watched is broken now
The masks I wear are fading
Somewhere deep within me
Theres darkness orchestrating

Now I run,  beyond fellowships bond
The memories I hold are fractured now
I diverge into the shifting skyline
Watching many moons pass
Just waiting for the sunshine

Now I sleep, hiding beneath the blanket of coming dusk
The sentiment I detain escapes now
I brave the nightfall alone, just me
Descending upon the black ocean
Searching somehow to be free

Now I dream, of a better morrow
The thoughts I gather are shattered now
I wander through a hollow tower
Climbing the steps
My strength diminishing by the hour

Now I return, mending the chain link
But the friends I kept are scattered now
I wander the field alone again
I ask the stars for aid
For this connection, I know I must sustain
