It's soft and it's sinking
Like that feeling in your gut before your lips brush
Or your hands touch
It's that feeling you get when the wind caresses you
Or when it rips through your hair
Relieving your mind and ridding your soul of pain
The fear you feel when you fall
Is nothing compared to the emptiness of the blue velvet sky
The never ending darkness stretches on
It's when your mind travels so far you can't find where you began
It's the fear of looking back
It's the solemn song of trees
As the angels' tears fall
It's the booming voices calling out
And the crashing of dreams as they are thrown away
It's the rush of everything spiraling out of control
It's the silence
The still
The calm after the storm
The caress of the water as I drift off to sleep
The blue velvet
