Guided to awakening
From your touch
To my soul
Inside I open  
My wings of consciousness expand
Pains of pasts seep through tears
Colours of nature burst
The beat of the earth
Vibrations of the universe
I’m connected to the birds
And the soil
Every tree blesses me
I thank the fallen leaves
And witness miracles

am I going crazy?
I might be
the world does madden me
well
just a little but it's growing
like a vine
stretching across my consciousness suffocating my sanity

all the voices become one indecipherable
splatter
of painted sound
to the inside of my ears

just noises now
loud obnoxious croaks
screeches
and booms

they pour forth from spitting mouths
just jammering
of meaningless subjects
a matter of fact of which I don't care

but it is the nature of this jungle
a fact of life
that I should be this way

my only cure to the chaos is to hide away
behind my veil of isolation
at least that is what I tell myself
as I slowly turn the key
to the lock in my head

We write out secrets in our art
so the dark can tear us apart
every lie, every lust, every slight
Just so we can sleep at night
