Endless time and space
*Infinite
Unknown
Lost in the void.
Time begins to slow
Words begin to form
And my eyes begin to see.

As the tides rise and the ground quakes
In my eyes, a moment of clarity.
Words tumble from our mouths
Sounding trumpets declare war.

Where were you when the walls came down
As the waves buried our dreams and
The heavens took our souls?
Shed the skin
Layers on layers.
Our lives,
Written with blood
Pages on pages.
Under dying stars
Our voices fade
And all that remains
Is the sound of drums.

Looking out the window
Looking into your soul.
Music, the mind can play
To the sound of burning stars.
As a minstrel plays
A song to heal your scars.
Hollow, void, my mind
Silent as the night
You found your way out of my heart.
On a park bench I sit,
Watching the world move too fast.
As salted dreams graze my cheeks
Silently I weep.
Sing minstrel,
So the pain I may forget
And these scars may fade with time.

If words fail
And in your eyes I'm just an empty book
Pages upon pages blank
And my mind is but a withering leaf.
If words fail
And my eyes cannot tell you what I feel.
If the rain could hide my tears
And my lips quivered with the mention of your name.
If words fail
And if a blue jay cannot sing to the beautiful day
If your voice could softly say
How my dreams have always been about you.
If words fail
And I cannot speak what I mean to
Hold my hands and feel my heart beat
Because nothing could keep me away from you.

Will your mind open to the unknown?
As an open road softly calls.
Join, in wonder
Oh weary pilgrim.
This life is yet to unravel.
As my knees give in to the weight of the world.
These burdens shall leave their mark on my doorstep
Shining glory of a path I forgot.
Like paradise sought and found
Silent whispers void of desolation.
Idle, pretentious, scared to wander.
This universe shall leave you in awe,
Untangle yourself from your web of lies.
Oh weary pilgrim,
Lend me your mind,
As an other world reveals
Thoughts unhindered.
