Reaching Home
The ocean wants me Never had to look under water Has it been ruled The never ending current pulls me through Waiting, waiting How it has been flowing since I was a boy Swimming, lightning Coming home, I am going home Wash it all away, end up strong These eyes have grown, these eyes have shown Watching the horizon, hoping for The cliffs to rise above the shore The tide rises far above The sky fades into the sea The awareness slowly ebbs away As light surely will find me As calm as inside a womb As the skies are filled With shades of gloom The watchers of time have foretold That this life will find its way back home Even a man who fights the cold Fears the depths of his own soul Under the stars that share his light Sinking slow and reaching home

This world has changed Before our eyes - we can't control Waiting to find Waiting here with nothing more to say Goodbye to all I have said Was waiting for decay Here I am, waving to the waves Catch the dream before we are Left inside and everything is gone Catch the dream before someone else is Setting forth and illusive state of war The shimmering flocks of shadows that Surround the walls we are looking at Mark of silence It tells me to hide It hides the divide Me versus man Bear the silence Tell me, mother: how can I turn back old times Maybe we are all asleep and die inside to taste The urge to feel so much more Closing all my windows to embrace "Our identities are stories With holes in their language Slumbering, at the height of what Could have been synchronicity or Parallels in multiple dimensions "Can we find any reference In this abstract color field This ambivalence, this dualism Can we see the details of a bigger entity What is the antidote To the triviality of modern life" Find the words to completion Take me there, where I belong Fallen into harsh delusion Drawing circles to my illusion To reflect me and my diffusion Waves keep lashing down on the old shores Sunlight sails the soothing silence I am spitting letters Paraphrased in sand My words are set on fire
