Garden of Arcady

Unknown souls reside

In the most deserted places,

Such as the minds of the Parallel

And the hearts that bear the rebellion,

The agonizing shadows that stalk

Behind the familiar faces.

 

Where the souls whom we do not know

Find places in the garden-like Arcady,

Its rustic magnificence and endless streams.

The whitest marbles that mirror the true form

Of one's self,

The sculptures of liberty and honor,

Enchanted voices of wood nymphs

That serenade every frightened heart.

 

The harmonious hands clasping together,

Souls traded their bodies for a one-way ticket;

This is where the last train stops.

 

The mind seeks for the Parallel

When a desire craves;

It reaches down to the deepest pit

From where the tree reaches down to the lowest ground.

Should its own branches reach the tallest clouds?

 

Behind the rushing blood

Of spirits being awakened,

Should the deserted soul

Stride its feet in the garden of Arcady?
