And after the storm the wind scatters You take stock of how much of yourself you’ve lost Checking for new scars and bones rattled Reeling from the shell shock Picking up the now rearranged thesis of who you are Dusting off your soul and it’s unrecognizable in the light So you sit there in silence Fathoming every reason you’re still alive You dive a little deeper Delving secrets from the mind You can’t describe what you’re seeking But it feels like paradise An infinite calm but only out of the corner of your sight Contact is imminent But perhaps this isn’t the time If not now then when? It’s the same question presented to you at the eye After you’ve splayed into everything you will see in ice and shadows But as you are it stands for something out of reach And then wind picks up again As every storm is not without meaning
