Sojourn

In a field so green Where the morning ever rises I try to grasp this fleeting moment The swaying of the trees The cool touch of the breeze All will turn to shadow Just another faded memory Can you show me what I can’t see Help me listen to what I can’t hear Calm the storm within my heart Before it grows and takes its toll I can show you what you can’t see Help you listen to what you can’t hear Calm the storm within your heart Before it grows and takes control Will I remember the cold autumn breeze Will I remember the sound of the trees Will I remember the feeling of your touch Will I remember anything at all

Cast unto the world and whispered a lie Devoid of will With a false sense of hope A heart benighted Deceived from the start Forever lost Confusion the norm My bitter world is changing So tired of this deceit There must be something more to this Something I must have missed The silhouette of childhood’s memory Now obscured within a dream Slowly fading with the fog of time A dwindling light A fraying thread What is left? A heart of dread Words left unsaid Forever dead Can this be real? Time never heals Left in decay Where all remains

The darkness faltered Seeking out the light Longing to become Something it wasn’t So it cried out in vein Hoping to ease the pain Of knowing the dreadful truth The secret of the light You will never know The story that goes untold Hidden from all to see This wish will never be And so it turned away Leaving with little strength Hoping that some day The night would be the light It vowed to never cry And never to deceive Knowing that the light Would never reveal its plight

Hear me hear my cries See me in the night Searching for what was Fleeing what I’ve become The pain inside blinding my sight The fears I hide draining my life A final sigh a fleeting wish Tomorrow will come So hard to carry on Burden in my chest Burning air so cold Frozen memories are lost In time forever gone This figure so frail With sunken eyes And skin so pale A heart filled with ice

When the night Comes to take us away I will be right by your side To wipe away all of your tears And take away all of the pain I know just what it is you seek A moments rest A sigh of relief

The skies wept and the soil filled with anguish Embodied with dis-contempt there is no end There is no escape only a loathing acceptance All will be consumed by eternal darkness The memories were lost in the winds of time The stars could only watch as the Earth began to weep The forests will no longer sway The seas will cease to move All rivers will run dry And the lands will turn to dust All forms of life will flea And the birds will end their songs As the clouds begin to settle Not even silence remains Darkness fills my vision With a blanket of cold Loneliness becomes my friend Traveling the unknown Eternal dusk awaits In this land Where the moon and the stars are trapped In suspended animation This place so far away Certainly out of reach It’s closer than you can see Nothing is what it seems

The shadows fall once again They shroud my mind and I filled with dread These ghosts in my dreams haunting figures in black My fear grows like a plague Waiting for a sign not knowing what I’ll find Seeking the truth there is nothing left to do The moonlight is all that’s left to guide me Porcelain white upon a sea of darkness And this we will hold so dear the memory of life And what do we do when all is gone Where do we go when the last leaf falls
