1.

The sea takes me there and away

The raven laughs as boughs snap backs

It’s sudden and strange

This new day

Of golden farewells and black clouds of despair

Look me, look me

I survive, I keep neck straight

You cry as I struggle

Laughter, then crack

I reach my world as a dream

Its molten, the hate

Fear and confusion keep names at bay

Gone for a while now, mixed in a way

There’s news of a heart

But not as it seems, by force was this made

A sea to compel brings words to conspire

Taking of souls to cleanse the mind and begin

For some a stage

Legacy bears falsehoods and pain

To be gone yet survive is one destiny of status

To be here

To be there

To be sure

To be scared and confused

Am I me?

2.

The cracking of bones, no words to prepare

As cold hands take away all hope

The clouding of minds, as truth makes despair

In a home far from life

Filled with fear

The taking of life, all spoiled, no regret

As more sales bring favour and choice

The hating of skins, no more has repair

In a past, here, and now

Filled with pain

A history for hatred endorsed as a given

Deleting forever a soul that was known

Through time and deliverance, we see things unseen

Forge knowledge to the horrors

Negating, berating, be humble in hell

Whenever truth rears

We are free

3.

It’s warm outside

I can see the glow

A kind of calling just before the snow

We breathe it in and laugh at dusk

It’s winter we say

Each year

It’s the time we know

Yet the surprise is real

4.

You call him something

While viewing nothing

Using whipping words

Before the nines

It’s an isolating theory

Powerful in time

It works to weary

Each soul and space

He sees your history

You call him nothing

He rises and marvels at his power

He calls you lost

5.

Dreaming building hoping

The wave of despair seen receding

There’s more to discover

As passing whims hit the floor

And a revealed symptom of patience wins through
