Adrift in Grief
Ending every night Dreams I can’t forget Fragments lost in my puzzled mind As if I were still standing there Emotional surge Faint reminder of pain But never a clear sign of its source As they were, they are no more In fragments, my life nevermore I wish to live that moment again Alter what time has gained Faces they rust Like leaves, they eventually fall Twilight draws its rays of pain on my soul Blinding me of what’s to comе So distant that they already know the call Dеbilitating slow Infinity eventually comes

Winds blow life and then subside Flicker reminder adorned the hollow Presence I know Do you hide behind the still Poured on me Slow and cascading Blood coagulated Rusting red deep disgorge Culmination of time Banishing at each depth In cerulean night Lost adrift these tideless seas I carry my grief and hope I don't drown

Like the night in which this was composed All is quiet, but the mind is torn Endless cacophony directs my core Expressing in the only way it knows Melodies of my prophetic morose But as they paint soundscapes to me They don’t evoke the pain within They fall flat in the sand and wash away Grain by grain, note by note Lost in the void of an expressionist dream Mind, body, and soul at peace Matter dies, not the spirit

I rest under Cold and dark I can finally be Alone No more In darkness I drift Currents of mine Undertow Lifeless, my joy Kiss me For I must go In the light I feel I see I listen Excused from that I didn’t choose Liberated, I’m complete An individual In flesh no more Pure freedom No more tears No more pain Self expression In darkness They feel They see They listen A sincere goodbye Look for me in darkness For I’m the darkness in the light

Slowly it's drifting My passage from this dream Inverting the winds The glimmer no longer exists Time assuming the riff of my doom Shadows of leaves eternally bloom This forest so vast, the beauty surreal The caress of the winds cradles my fall Into the bleakness where Iʼm blind The presence of grief rains upon me Majestic the ground that I lay on So tender and sueding Iʼve forgotten Iʼve died Grasping the soil to blanket my corpse I close my eyes and start a new dream Running to feel the warmth of the sun Eclipsing the darkness this land entails Admiring myself resting in peace I ponder my body that no longer sleeps
