No more fear as we fall into ourselves Clinging to the beauty that survives As we lie, weary and stained Looking through the eyes of the sky We are dreaming deeper, falling further in Saving ourselves from Tomorrow's end Etching words in stone Praising the new gods among us Feeling their presence among us But woe to those who gaze upon them Who gaze upon them Feeding on sunlight after the rain Still waters stir as the air slowly rises Bathed in new light Blind, innocent and free Guardians, sentinels Piecing together our dreams Crafted into a perfect utopia.

Dreaming deeper, falling further in Passing time on the other side So heavy and warm Like a blanket of air A landscape of memories Behind each sunrise We are all leaves on the same branch On the same burning tree Sprouting leaves from my fingers I see my body below me Reaching out to ghosts hidden by time Floating so deep I can hear the singing silence A single murmur in the air between us Between us... Between us A new season takes hold And a chill numbs my skin Aurora summons the light And ghosts fade away Listen to them quietly call me back Shadows from another time Bury me deeper until tomorrow Past unseen, hidden from my last day When innocence falls away For tomorrow I'll hear the mountains sing

The ground weakens beneath our feet Cold earth hidden from sunlight Footsteps in the snow Now our only guide A weightless transformation Erasing the footsteps behind us Swallowing the hunger and fear Often we had gone this way before But now we are lost... Now we are lost Now everything has changed But it seems we never could be And never had been anyplace else for very long We had one single memory a song in our heads A song of the day that was done A song about home ...Home They welcomed us somehow from somewhere far away Within the mist and the calm Leading us home Something familiar and pleasant yet strange to us came Whose gentle will has changed our fate Stand with me just a little longer as we find our way home We follow our faint heartbeats And the cold breath in front of us Falling down, crawling... Sleeping... Dreaming And then we are gone Then we are gone

Say good night and rest your eyes Please don’t let me go I try each day to come back to you I’m still in here... Somewhere Every cell in my body fighting... Healing Particles of light bleed through the window glass Speckles shining on my brow Day after day... Night after night fighting... Dreaming Hold my hand tight Don’t let me slip away It’s not the end it’s only the beginning For when you wake I’ll be by your side Every breath in my lungs reaching... Leaving Particles of life bleeding through the window glass Speckles of dust cover my face Day after day... Night after night... Fleeting... Leaving Say good night and rest your eyes Maintain this vigil I’m still in here somewhere For when you wake, I’ll be by your side

Catch me in my sleep Sing me a lullaby Please, don’t make a sound Say goodnight, as we drink in the sky Dreaming in the glade Let me catch my breath Let me find my way To the only world I’ve ever known Running in the glade I rule my kingdom with a crown of leaves Hidden by trees and a warm summer breeze For a day I’m queen of the glade Catch me in my sleep Heavy strings pulling me down I succumb to the weight of the sky Time is slipping away Although I try, why can’t I remember? That no one is coming to save me

The air below the water The sky beneath the sea Waist deep in the tide, I let them take me deeper I let them take me deeper Ferried to a darker calm, Within an endless of knowing Dream fragments gifted from sentient idols And crafted into supernatural machines The air below the water The sky beneath the sea The dead water savors the salt Drink deep from the ocean's briny basin Take my hand, as we drift into water dreaming Aurora's tune echoes through the waves Played on ancient pipes a ghostlike trance leads us Beneath the sun drenched tides The air below the water The sky beneath the sea The light slowly disappearing Leaving invisible traces as we drift away

In my last breath... there is some small peace Parting the sky for the bringer of night Parting the sea for the unmaker of worlds Water flowing like rain-bled sleep Water flowing like rain-bled sleep Fluid embers dancing Like red ghosts in the sky Infinite light seeping Cautiously weaving Teaching us to be invisible Wading in the air Drifting Remember us when we were whole I can almost touch you Still reaching, reaching So far away, so small Staring from inside Inside this dream From another afterlife Nestling within Moulding revelations Into life The sky beneath the sea The clouds beneath my feet Never touch the ground Never make a sound So far away, you will never see me So far below the air Breathing in the water A crown of stars For my lunar coronation Bending the storm to my will Welcome to the universe The sky beneath the sea The clouds beneath my feet Never touch the ground

Blossoming wind Rising, fading, almost speaking Their ominous warning Their fingers weave through my hair Gray clouds engulf the sun Above me, the magnificent sky looms Streaks of lightning, almost painted Cutting deep through the gloom Blinding beams A low resounding moan Lamenting thunder Followed by echoing cries And then A grand chorus of sky spirits sing Deafening, soothing. A melody of raindrops Sing their endless lullaby Leaves spill water to the soil Trees sway to the quickening gale Rain dances in the air To the crescendo of wind, water and Earth I can feel the all consuming soul of the sky Unleashing the downpour upon me Streams of light breach the waning clouds To fill me with their ominous strength and mercy I am the vessel The storm and I are one With desperation I persevere I claw my path beneath the surface To find some rest deep within the Earth And one day reemerge as a calamity... A deluge None shall see me coming until it’s too late

Like a child in my arms I'll carry you away Somehow, somewhere... We will stay Taking our chances in the sky With the sun down below us... We will fly Higher, and higher, like the songbirds above Higher and higher Higher and higher And like a child without love, we will cry... And we will sigh Like the songbird that sings... Like the bird without wings And like all living things... We will die Like a child in my arms I'll carry you away We’ll find our way home and forever and a day, we will stay Like a whisper in your ear and all you hold dear Like a song in the wind, we will hear Tomorrow will save us from today And like the threads of all hope, we will fray The ultimate fear, that burns from within That can only be free for a day Like a child in my arms, I will carry you Like a child in my arms, I will carry you away Like the songbird that sings... Like the bird without wings And like all living things... We will die Like the songbird that sings Like all living things we will die Like all living things we will die

So far away I can never touch you So far away Into the void I let you go Think of a day with no sun A bond unbroken, yet severed by time Calling on sentient souls To find what has been lost Isolation blurs Let me find you again Follow the sound of my voice Echoing the dreams and memories we shared So far away Out of my grasp Trapped inside the mirror But still, so far away Let me find you Touch you So follow the sound of my voice

I am one... and then I am two And then we are three Flesh and bone to sand and stone Stone to sand... to Earth and air And then to water Shape and color of the sky Free to fly, and wish.... and dream To transform.. to become I unravel, I dissolve... I remember My face outlined in the stars Becoming the night, becoming the stillness A chill in the air, a breath in the light I transform... I become... Something else Someone new Today into tomorrow Tomorrow into never Never into when... and then Then into now, and over again Fibers in glass, weaving Knowing all that is to come And still remembering nothing Tears to brine, to salt and wine Hold me close, but lightly Something more... Something less Breathing groans collected in the fog Sounds to song, and words to air A wIndless night, with steadily streaming lights We sing to the stars Trees sinking, bleeding bark to the grass Ever changing, evolving, becoming crystal chandeliers Deep in the hallow, a single child's voice Calling, crying... Singing Disappearing in the arms of tomorrow's light And yesterday's garden Lustrous gleaming shapes Paint themselves in the night time breeze Three shapes inside me... Moving... Dreaming And then we are two... And then I am one I transform I become… Again

The open sea calls out my name Quietly Yet always the same Colder, deeper And yet I remain As still as a painting Lost in a memory... Find me Floating above the waves Breathing beneath the clouds Tasting the air around me, still and low In beams of light, I drift… Save me Earth and sea embrace between me Hand in hand, holding me fast Fringes of seasons pass without change Stillness awaits Sleep Stay close behind me A whisper away From flesh to bone to ash And I'm gone I’m gone The steady hand of the sun on my face I've forgotten myself as I lie here waiting As still as a painting Lost in a dream... Take me Breathing beneath the waves Scared as a child... Free me Lost in a wish Lost in a sunset

Time flowing backwards Ancient rhymes whisper farewell To the last glimpse of a sunlit world Descending into yesterday A golden tapestry stitched into clouds Radiant and beckoning, waves reflecting Glimmering on the shore, Balanced only by the weight of the sky If I climb the tallest tree To reach the highest branch Higher, and higher until I can reach the sky I can almost touch the sun Rolling waves crash upon my feet The warm sand caressing me, holding me The power of the sea Falling down, deeper Covered in beaming sunlight If I climb the tallest tree To reach the highest branch Higher, and higher until I can reach the sky I can almost touch the sun Remember when we were young Innocence held close by the thinnest threads Arms outstretched, faces glowing We could almost touch the sun The rays fall around me Pushing me down into yellow grass and heavy air

Bound to Earth... Tethered to sky Between two trees... My weary bones rest Sleeping guardians emerging From frost kissed cocoons Between two trees Dreaming in my starlit meadow Waiting to swallow the moon Waiting for the end of the beginning Leaves fall between two trees To line my Earthen bed Gathering my bones with care Before daylight swallows me whole Between two trees Where I convalesce Inner calmness, inner peace Undisturbed by time and daylight Enhanced by dewdrop illuminations Painted ghosts revive me Only at night I change Transform into something new Molting beneath the stony Earth My scars overlapping My new transformation into something wonderful Face of a doe reflected in the stream As I sip the splendor around me

Water covers water, shimmering Streams like fingers flowing Washing away stone and earth Shapeless, formless, voiceless Starting anew The current below washing over me Rinsing away the stains from my body to once again renew it's splendor The day is gone We leave our light behind in vain The stains remain We wait again for another cleansing. Youthful sounds growing faint They vanish Silent, forgotten I spread my arms wide to take hold of the world The warmth and strength I feel for a moment Taking me under Drowning me Making me invisible again Thus begins my cleansing The day is gone We leave our light behind in vain As the stains remain We wait again for another cleansing. An unstained paradise awaits Dream of me one last time I’ll take your tears, clean and pure And wait again for another cleansing

Pretending to be invisible... not pretending Can you see us in the rain? Wildflowers hide our faces Faces hide our senses Stay... Distance trickles in beneath us Began as nothing... Then, nothing Hold still and listen for the quiet Tempting a sting of songs from our lips Stay... Disturb our sleep, and lead us back to nowhere Look around, and find our hands joined to theirs Where can I see you? Where have you been Tomorrow comes, and brings the last glimpse of somewhere Pretending to be invisible... Not pretending Can you see them in the rain? Sun showers hide their faces Faces hide their senses Stay... Tell me you remember how to open your eyes And see behind our faces Before we have to hide again Somewhere Time to leave... Time to forget Light and shadow chasing us nowhere Falling again, into somewhere... Where we stay sometime And then we disappear Tell me you remember
