Rapture (From "The Acid Oasis")

I am no longer the battlefield The rapture is in my hands I am the space between rain drops I am the air, the sea, and land I am the dragon that exhaled The smoke to make the clouds No longer do I dredge through sands Adorned in burial shroud I am time and I have created all that I see Right now is forever And with a blink I can erase history As though yesterday was never I am an illusion All that is you claim to see Is only there if you perceive it to be But it isn’t there and nor are you Becoming less aware Only my sight can make you whole You are not the flesh you wear I was conceived inside a dream I am the new creator Creating dreams you cannot see Because I am saving them for later The rapture is in my child’s tears Frozen in a broken heart The softest and most fragile things Can tear my inner worlds apart There is still life here in still-life When we wake, the sand turns into stone again The flame’s becoming cold again And you cannot breathe under water Only because you don’t believe you can I am eternal and I have found home Where each second lasts for hours And forever never counts past one Time ticks in the bloom of a flower Learn to measure life by moments Not by dollars or by minutes When life begins at every breath The past becomes irrelevant.
