....

Addressed to: Everyone


You stare out through the dirty window
Into the future, where you seek to find yourself
Your souls fly into the sky
bourne upon the wings of the raven

Flying higher and higher you soar into the great night
seeking that which you can never find
Falling, falling into the void
through the trees, the leaves, the shattered dreams

Flying high again you sail
dipping, diving, rolling and hoping
to find the things that you lost so long ago
to find the hope that that left your heart.

Up and down, up and down
you fly, you fall, into the night
Darkness surrounds you, never can find you
The empties creeps into your chest.

Everything is quiet now, nothing to make a sound
No thoughs, no dreams, nothing seems
to be the way you thought it would
Alone again, and nothing to show for it

You reach out your hand, hoping you can grasp
just one memory from the emptiness in your heart
You search, you seek, you groan in defeat
Nothing there, just the emptiness that surrounds you.

Where have all of your dreams gone?
What have you done?
All of the things you worked so hard for
crumbing beneath your feet

You stare at the emptiness in wonder
you stare at the future of your existance
you seek out for warmth and find nothing but night
swallowing your heart, your souls, your life.

Reach for the light...

Penned by my hand on the 5th of Midsummer, in the year 244 MA.
