The moment in time
The  split second before you fall asleep

The split second after
When the world stops making sense
When you are ejected
Cutting through the current; breaking
into nothing.

into Darkness.

Cold and bleak
a damp cellar in a burning World

reality is blurred
and new becomes clear

Unseen reality emerges
And everything fits in;
home.

Then it’s rejected
Flying away with a gust of wind;
into nothing.

I wanted to be far away
So you could never see me
But when the distance widened
And the pain didn’t heal
After the time passed
The memories were still real
I realized,
I was a fragment of your story
A ripple in the sea
And so you caught my entire pane,
And ripped it away from me.
After all this time, it seems
You were the hurricane
Who brought me all this pain.

Notes flow in Waterfalls
Spilling over the edge of an endless chasm of rhythm
Pulling up a song
keeping it afloat
While a bucket of rocks Pulls it back into the river
Riptides waiting to sweep You back Under
Into its arms

Glittering like smooth white petals
Drifting down in the glowing sun
Or coals smoldering with a raging fire brewing underneath
Burning through the thicket as fast as wildfire
Churning like ice in the rudder of a barge
Breaking into fragments of what it once was

Lyrics fly in a torrent
Like bees Buzzing through your ears
Filling your head with courage
Pulsing through your veins like liquid fire
Sun shining on your skin like a sun on a snowy winter day
Glistening through the sleet
And Melting ice deep in the ground

But Only for a short while.
