I was drowning in an ice-cold feeling Trying to think; my mind was reeling What was happening? I didn't know I was pulled through with the flow I heard nothing but my own heartbeat Keeping time with my trudging feet Where was I going? Time would tell As I headed toward the dull, tolling bell The time was night, the hour late What end in store? What was my fate? I didn't know, nor did I care The wind cut through me, tossed my hair Nothing made sense, but nothing really tried It seemed as though meaning had fallen and died I was peering through the world's facade Seeing patterns like a god And suddenly, it all made sense! I was Past through Future: every tense! Nothing more could be defined, nothing more to reason And now that I was one with all, I settled in my favorite season
