A final blow
It ceased the noise
Sent ripples through the calmness
It sent away
What could have been
But ne'er had chance to happen
Now endless nights
And many a drink
Have led to only heartaches
Echos, they ring
Cries, they sing
But sorrow is incognizant
Ceaseless murmers
They'll never silence
They haunt my restless sleep
They have no heart
No soul, no feelings
They'll gain no pleasure greater
That's when I fade
Out, and away
Cast into the shadows of life
The mental zodiac
Infecting the mind
Burning it up with toil
Work and wonder
Mix, twist, plunge
Down and in through darkness
Brown and green
Blended with red
Sepia bleeds throughout
Now drowned in blue
Colors blend
Feelings mingle
Equivalents were hidden
Now dug up, resurfaced
Brought into life
Once again
Winds meet
Clouds part
Opening chance
What never had grace to pardon
Has now cleared the air
I can see
What left a hole
A gap in deep dark valleys
Now left alone
I wander the world
Stranded within the forest
