Sounds

Solemn solace.
I seek you.
I seek your melody.
And the grace,
like the melting of snow.
The blossom of Amaranta.
I want to sing you.
Let me create you.
Be my creation.
I believe.
O' God, teach me passion.
Grant me love.
O' God, I, Your servant,
teach me how.

Full

Cleaning up debris.
In melody, in harmony.
Why is there no symphony ?

Maybe.
Rhythm, pulse.
Flow, high.

Maybe one day I'll grow them wings.
Maybe one day I won't fall so hard.

Bruises.

Help me fly.
Blinking.
Sunlight.
Moonlight.
No, starlight.
No.

Light.

Inside.

Outside.

I am fine.

Bruises.

I am fine.

I am fine.

Light.

I am fine.

Inside.

Outside.

Midnight

Suffer a desire.
The empty train,
The empty train station,
The empty man.

Did we build collapsing walls ?
Will the walls collapse ?
May I sit and watch the cracks that widen ?

Folding, unfolding.
Immersed.
Sounding bells, words.

Folding, unfolding.
Skies unblue.

Hope.
Elusive destinations.
Unfathomable destinations.
Invisible destinations.

Too fast.
Time after time.
Seconds.
Too fast.

Mixed up.
Let down and hanging around.
Some ropes never get frayed.

Powerful, them words.
Be my power.
Be my strength.
Be my help.

Seasons of love.
Compiling. Glances ?
Breathtaking.
Unbelievable.

Did you see it ?

Refined in Embrace

Through every elusive breath,
Untold - the unfathomable distance.
Refined, the pulsing silence holds
another riddle in captivity.

Light, the darkness as it unfolds,
unmasked, expanding, absorbing, lifting ..

Carry me.
Be my wind as I sail.
Pull me through everything.

With every arduous fight alone,
Tighten my hold, sharpen it.
Whisper the words I need to hear.
Wait. I'm not alone at all.

See. I see a glare in the shadow.
Light, the darkness as it unfolds.
Embracing, the silence screams an answer to the riddle.

I breathe the wind as I sail.
The fight is over.
Wait.
Thank You.
Tighten my hold.
Sharpen it.
The distance has been bridged.

Return

Time has slowly unraveled these memories.
Like speeding cars, they faded into new horizons.
From sky to sky, above the gleaming rocks,
The higher things I seek.

For this has mesmerised me,
My eyes see the pebbles and not the path.
It is time I walked on seas.
For I know I can, and that is how I will.

In cruel snares I was trapped. I am trapped.
The abode. Wings without chains.
I will reach again.

I was told I could perform miracles.
I was told I could speak to angels.
I will hark, heed, hear.
For maybe then my light will shine.

And then, another : I am sorry.
I do not know. Do I know ?
I know, but I have not understood yet.
It will come. For I will listen,
And through listening will I speak.

It is upside down, I do not know.
Do I know ?

Angels sing.
And their song is beautiful.

Feathers

To recall, remember. I remember those days.
Imbibed, engraved. How could I forget ?
Of catching floating leaves. Of floating with falling leaves.
Of falling and getting up again.
Of flying.

To recall, remember. I remember I used to fly.
Embedded. Those suns I held in my palm.
Before they exploded into the glistening black of night.
Of befriending birds. Of the wind on my back.
Of soaring through mists and clouds.
Of flying.

Unchained.
Sifting and gliding through the melodies I could never create.
And hearing the songs I could never sing.
And holding the air I could never grasp.
Of letting it go to where it belonged.

To recall, remember. I remember those wings.
I desire. To be one with the air again.
To be free.
Where everything is perfect.
Where I befriended the rain.
Where I befriended the flame.
Of searching.
Of unfolding those wings.
Of flying again.

And again.

To Rinse

Well, let's look on the bright side of things.
Blinding bright, everything's burning.
Sever these ropes, so restricting.
When we're the only ones who can save this now.

We really always were.
This town is ours, and it's burning.
Burning.
Burning.

Spewing embers of distance.
A blaze meant to be washed away.
And struggle we will, if we must.
I know you will.
Trust.

I trust you.
I'll fight this arduous fight.
Fight with me.

We'll rebuild this city.
Make it a country.

And then live in our own little world.
