Ciel Noir Aug 2018

I dreamed that I was
high up in an oak tree
white flowers like roses
on my left hand side
woven up like a vine
among the branches
I was
so still
peaceful inside

Spirits

If there are spirits
What are they made of
Are they really anything
To be afraid of?

Freedom

Some say that freedom is
Wild emotion
Animal lust
Running through the forest
With no shoes
No words
Then none who is free
Can say what freedom is

Some say that freedom is
Language
Logic
Rising above emotions
On the wings of the mind
Then none who is free
Knows what freedom feels like

I say that freedom is
The ability to choose
Between these states of mind
At will
Or even
To combine them

Only then can we truly understand
Freedom
Only then will our whole soul be
Free
And know what it feels like to
Fly

Other star

Other star
Bathes me in her eerie light
Casting strange shadows

Mirror

Behold the wish to look upon the self
Behold the wish to see what others see
What does the mirror see?
Vanity
What does the mirror see?
Empathy

The mirror of the Sun is the Moon
The mirror of the Moon is the sea
What does the mirror see?
You and me
What does the mirror see?
Heaven
Deep

Further

If you got this far
You can go a little further
Just a little further
Day by day
And day by day
Go further and further
Still a little further
Till you go the whole way

..                only
               star fire                          melts              together
          say my only                       say                  forever
       bright    electric                    shining          through
     only              shines                so bright        as you
   opportunity       and                 treasure
  rush and rule and ring               and                record
casting down            their               crowns together
say my                          only                say forever
