I can fly with birds of sorrow,
I can fly with twisted wings.
I can fly like thereโ€™s no tomorrow,
I can sing like many springs.

People are but lonely birds,
Calling, calling, to be heard,
By other birds, by anyone,
Yet each bird keeps flying on.

Not ever pausing, to stop and hear
A lonely voice, calling dear,
The voices are lost, the voices are found
In the sound of the song, the song of the sound.

But I can fly on lonely waters
And stop to sing with lonely souls,
I can linger on the frontier,
And stop to sing, all alone.

I can soar above the clouds
Watching for someone worth singing with
Watching for someone in the crowds
A singer of songs, a legend, a myth.

But the sky is still grey, so bleak and dark,
Of blackness and unwanted things,
So I fly, as lonely as a lark,
Singing alone, on whispered wings.
Alcohol.
And train schedules.
A commuter's tightrope.
The last stop, Hpnotiq.
Where it rains sadness.
Where they're numb
To the moment of inertia.
Preferring instead to
Live on the rim.

Find me where the sun never sets
and the moon never fades.
Stars burn and nebulae swirl
time stops as light arcs
in a dimension of darkness.
Floating seas, frozen skies
within orbs of dust and cloud.

Adventure awaits,at the horizon
A cosmogyral sphere, gravitating.

I yearn
for a past
that'll keep
the future alive...
Live in the moment,

Curious, I mused,
how curious
Rain,reminiscence,renascence
A reel of past,winding
onto the present

And then,it dawned on me
sometimes,
rain awakens memories
sealed by flowing time.
ยฉ
As rain fell,drops dripping from the blue roof,rippling pools above gravel and pebbles,I journeyed at length,retreading roads of memories ...Times that passed, all that transpired, everything...unfolded before my eyes.
And I unravelled the present ,through this wondrous journey:))
