Today I left on the nowhere sea
Crying sweet tears of life,
Aboard a shifting, floating ship,
From here to there I creep,
The there we couldn't keep,
Looking down upon the rain,
Neverminding any pain
Or sorrow.
Shining down on me,
Distant dreams of life,
They couldn't help but try
To understand the tears we cry,
They asked of me to say
What makes us think we're so far away
From each other.
But when I stopped, there was nothing but the sun
In the meadow of the only real dream,
Waters running through the dancing trees,
Untouched, neither hers nor his,
Dancing with the wind as they please,
A dream more alive than a lovers kiss,
The Fall of the sacred Spring
Of Life.
Flying a frantic, friendly path
Through the gentle wisps of wind,
Maybe there to make me smile and laugh,
It flew not nearly close enough
For me to smell the wasted time,
But close enough for me to tell
It was a butterfly.
