Sleep Now, Quiet Forest

my desperation stalls me each move a fighting chance to see through veils of burning water dark seas envelope me breaking waves upon the sodden sand holding me down as I reach grasping for a quickly fading land enshrouding me push through a liquid sand dune soft stones to bury me in sleep echoes a distant savior of shells and living things breaking waves upon the sodden sand holding me down as I reach grasping for a quickly fading land enshrouding me painting the sky with silver colors have faded slow in grey touch down in distant waters and you are touch me bring the slow breath I bear to one last man to see me through this is a broken wave to carry you breaking waves upon the sodden sand holding me down as I reach grasping for a quickly fading land enshrouding me.... ah....

while sitting under shady trees like those who where there before me I whittle out of this old tree a singer of grace and beauty throughfields It will cry out your name and spell out your future in flames while stirring the pastures beyond a misty terrain of mountains listen closely to the blowing of the wind it's the whisper of Aengus Og a passage to antiquity a relic to all that can see with each pass I'm shedding it's skin it breathes now with my heart within through fields it will cry out your name and misty terrain of mountain listen closely to the blowing of the wind it's the whisper of Aengus Og

castles of red gold and green falling without warning uselessly waking to a standstill in my backyard I have watched it whither can nature carry on ivy with a dew covered train reaching to the treetops stretched in vain waking to a standstill in my backyard I have watched it whither can nature carry on empire of the green hand was a sacred thing I have watched it whither can nature carry on

the moon looks to the ocean the ocean looks to the sand on a dune sits a woman with five roses in hand and she plucks every color and she counts every thorn and she cries out to starlight with every passing storm won't someone save me, I've been waiting here for so long please take these tears carefully and write my name across your shores castaways at daybreak floating on separate scores a withered rose won't save them a candle burned out long ago nothing matters now, take this summer rain and wash your heart magic tiresome place where you put all your fears have locked their doors the moon looks to the ocean the ocean looks to the sand on a dune sits a woman with five roses in hand

Flow my tears, fall from your springs, Exiled for ever, let me mourn Where night's black bird her sad infamy sings, There let me live forlorn Down vain lights, shine you no more, No nights are dark enough for those That in despair their lost fortunes deplore; Light doth but shame disclose Never may my woes be relieved Since pity is fled And tears and sighs and groans my weary days Of all joys have deprived From the highest spire of contentment My fortune is thrown And fear and grief and pain for my deserts Are my hopes, since hope is gone Hark you shadows that in darkness dwell, Learn to condemn light; Happy, happy they that in hell Feel not the world's despite.

in the cool morning the flowers greet the sea with virgin faces smiling as we walked by this chance was gone even before it began and this is how it ends sailing gusty wild and lonely seas riding for my destiny i'll let fate label me with all the she brings to me daringly with empty kisses i slowly faded away empty hours wasted with every tear came but no more now now that you are gone i'm finally free from fear all things must pass but no i will not cry because i still have me
