The Glow Of Desperation

Time lingers... As a cloud surrounds me Preserving all that was and all that I am See me now, motionless and free as I expand into its stillness (See me now) Incandescent faces marveling at the wonder... Staring back at me I hear their words Yet they do not speak .. their sky descends and hides my face My body falls through the mirror... Casting shadows in the stream... My wings unfurl See me now... Blooming meadows in winter... She shivers in the sun I can still hear her singing as she rises from the water Her wild despair growing As her voice howls with the wind... Sending cries into the void I cling to the hope that all good things will come.. Tomorrow will fulfill its promises Climbing up from that dream I see a vision... Simple and pure like a child song. Beautiful words I long to hear... Nothing ever changes and nothing was ever broken See me now... For these are the seeds of history.

Floating up from a dream I tremble with cold In emptiness I am whole... To nourish desperation And the night lasts longer... A glowing dark weariness overcoming Fools laughter... Destined to fall Groping blindly for anything... Slipping forward into nothing I surrender to all things that come As I sing odes to my history Knowing all can be rewritten, woven into strength I hear the whispers... Hold up the sky Nothing to hold me back... Consuming the layers of time Knowing all was decided Inevitable... Endlessly caught in the undertow Finding my way to the bottom Finally I am the one with fullness of life

The writing on the veins in my body A story of my forgotten childhood The hidden thoughts wrought into my bones Unattainable comfort lies just beyond... My fingertips Promises of something beautiful A song like a sharpened spear That pierces the sky and sea Like the lash of a wound That falls on my brow As a fortress of my own weakness I am slowly forced to my knees As if I became a stone Becoming my own symbolic being Alone (and drowning in silence) The days are detached, my body buried deep in the snow Frost piecing bitter kisses (my cheeks) My soul goes bare trying to be free itself From this frozen shell The hidden thoughts wrought into my bones Unattainable comfort lies just beyond... My fingertips

Frozen moments like these are burning from the inside Beaming from a newborn sun Splintering my deepest sleep Safe from all my days to come And you... Rust and pain fitting like new skin You speak words so quietly... Yet you still can't sing Sweetest scent of primrose mist Fragments of you drawn together A shadow of something stirring at my side Chiseled in anger, hiding soft smiles... Twilight, breathe on me! We seat a great wreath shimmering and bright...Sharp eyes in the night Here we lay to rest our children, bearing offerings and adornments Songs among quietude.. A pale and scented gloaming... Voices caroling so softly Becoming what they are to me Come forth and tremble in the flesh the Earth A radiant measure of Joy

Voices from the sky Warm, ringing tones in my ears Soothing songs from the beginning of time Coloring the sounds of tomorrow's sleep Coloring the sounds of tomorrow's sleep ...Sleep Losing myself for a chance for divinity Eyes to the sun, shadows under clouds Soft lashes sweeping my face A lighter mystery transforming day Coming from silence, so long and so deep Loving, softly sweeping bright billows Make me a child again if just a day Faded grass blossoming, hiding our slumber Never to wake never to weep Faded grass blossoming, hiding our slumbering Never to wake never to weep Never to wake never to weep ...I am listening

How still the day and cold as night When shadows come from winter's light The sun reflects his queen, the moon Who pales his radiant crown of gold No breeze nor bird disturbs this view A vacant sky of cloudless blue In darkness formed the worm Its life from birth enwombed by the earth From tree to ground a seed is bound For life and death yet skyward it longs to grow Dreams without hope are wasted and lost Withering in your heart I know where there's light a darkness is It calls you to a soft embrace So dream your dream of life unknown Unknown could be

Sons and daughters of the earth An endless list of names... An endless list of lives That echo 'neath the glass... And cling to us They cling to us in shadows... They cling to us in light As clouds and hills share secrets in a frayed summer sky If we listen closely we can almost hear them If we listen closely... As chiseled stone into effigies All words are preserved Memories of yesterday evolved into dreams If we listen closely we can almost hear them If we listen closely... If we listen closely As the nightly breeze tickles the skin We succumb to the melodies of ancient lullabies Bleeding through the stillness with the wind Growing stronger... Blowing at our backs Growing stronger, and stronger... Piercing the skies Growing stronger, and stronger... Shattering the glass Growing stronger, and stronger... Piercing the night If you listen closely you can almost hear them

Hands pull me down The world falls away below me Rain slowly passes from rooftops and trees It sings in my ears Flying against the wind, rain in my eyes Building my room up around me The window in hallowed with budding blossoms, and earthen ties Wary and lost, wanting to cry... I give in With simple words an epic story is told Tales of sun and rising seas A dream carefully woven into a new truth I listen in awe... and tremble Our spirits rejoice Dancing on shadows of footsteps Echoes of laughter in fractures of the fray Crumbling walls in palaces of song Eyes shine on the nameless Giving in to dread shamelessly gleaned Nourish the changes, inside and around you Take refuge beneath deep rooted trees And light dims... as night comes

I watch it fade into the deep I feel the weight still anchor me I know its secrets Are still watching me Once I sailed into a storm Unintending, unattended, all alone Was I dreaming? No one saw me No one helped me as I hailed the wind Over breakers Under veils of rushing water This weight of mine That holds my freedom It pulls me down But I will fight for liberation To find some peace at last In the distance, there it was Moving closer Eyes wide open through the storm Pushing forwards No one held me No one there to keep me from my fate No one heard me Screaming through the rushing water on my face I'll take my chance To lose this burden It pulls me down but I will seek some inspiration To wake my sleeping heart I'll take this chance to lose this burden It pulls me down but I will search for revelation Before I break apart All along, it's where I left it Waiting, drifting undefended All along, you're where I left you All along, I left you. Ah! Is this what you wanted? Is this what you hoped for? Keep moving, don't lose faith now! Make it what you wanted, Make it what you hoped for I can feel it calling me I know it I feel it I have it It's part of me I'll take my chance to lose this burden It pulled me down but now I know The time has come to throw it overboard! I made this chance to lose this burden It pulled me down but I have found illumination The end becomes the start.

A silence laced with words Candles flickering to cadence of my breath Fireflies painting the night Stone hallucinations gone in the blink of an eye The welling of the water beneath me, From early morning's rain, Which pools in the lip of the stream We share a likeness For this is the voice of spring My daughter sings to the sky Pulling down the stars, and strings them marigolds Weaving them into a crown As her voice measures the distance Between stones and flying seeds For this is the voice of spring A blessing for exhausted ewes

Moonbeams pierce the soil Illuminating the moist Earth pressed against my skin Wrapped in silk and magma Gleams of frost shaping a reverie A fierce, fiery temple forged by a torrent of lesser souls Stifled in futility, sodden with mud, rain and pitiful cries Breathe in deeply the morning colors Drink her dew from my hands Behold her madness beneath a feathered crown Marvel at her wonder as she becomes you And there she rests upon the sea bitten shore Amidst the foam and sand she writhes Feverish and alone, her aura grows and blossoms into vivid radiance As the sun quenches snow and rain dampens soil The leaves are trembling in the air The gentle light strays and vanishes and returns to chasten a lesser soul

Winding roots slither into in the soil, we rest with the stones and shadows The sunlight burrows deep, dancing through cracks in the soil And whispers of the dead guide us to the sky Measuring the stars as they guide the evening's teeth deep into my soft flesh Past secrets uncoil like hidden serpents becoming part of our blood and bone Feathered gods sing to Mother Earth, disguised in tattered robes, She sleeps where the air is milder and sings to forget her woes Muffled suffering from a thousand wounds, comfort from a song A song that is charged with a thousand words and uttered from a thousand tongues Death cannot intimidate me, the fury and calamity Of a world unable to bend my will, these limbs I wear only for show I remain a statue, a shadow beneath the dead leaves Blind to the beauty and deaf to the sounds, aching with the birth of each new day Helpless, yet wiser than I will be today What I hold in my hands Is the weight of all things Death cannot intimidate me, the fury and calamity Of a world unable to bend my will, these limbs I wear only for show Helpless, yet wiser than I will be today What I hold in my hands Is the way of all things

Morning again, soothing sun Welcoming and warm, with undertones of dread An ill fated hour where words are filled with grieving joy And hope dissolves with each kept moment A light that comes from nowhere From dreams which I could not awaken A stillness neither beautiful nor comforting Falling back into the womb of the earth The night's slow innocence takes it's toll on me The cruelty of time which I'm supposed to understand Leaving only a shell behind Morning again, soothing sun Welcoming and warm, with undertones of dread The ill fated hours... the grieving joy of words A thin guise of hope stings more with each passing moment A rain washed wind swept summer breeze Hazy sunsets bleeding nature's voices Echoing empty in the morning mists Temptation longing beneath gray faces Dancing serpents, rising from their sleep No ordinary miracles shaping the hours... Or stifling the still growing quietude
