even a moment of it
fills the dry corners of the soul
with light, peace
and gentleness
Through your vision of lightness,
a miracle glows with brightness;
A collection of hearts define it,
reminding you who's behind it.

A ladder leads up to the sky,
you climb it as if you can fly;
Yet this face is a mere illusion,
so why deal with such confusion ?

Gone away in cloudless moments,
still haunting your memory's torments;
Of pain recalled from past times,
soon erased with poems that rhyme.

And all along this path to glory,
that measures a worthless story;
The face becomes an invisible token,
of fragile words no longer spoken.
Dark and filled with mystery
The raven mocks and squawks
Hovering in the dead of night
Or perched on the rooftops
Seeking with their beady eyes
For an easy prey
Then attacking it on sight
In the field in which it lay
He creeps at night in shadows
The keeper of the time
When certain death grows nearer
The reaper comes alive
He wears no face of evil
He has no face at all
He is the sender of the souls
But will they rise or fall?
There are images in my mind  
Of a not far off location
That stirs my inner thoughts
As well as my imagination
Where the mood is red and green
Just like Christmas in the spring
Where peace reigns supreme
If only for a moment
To hear in between the screams
