I trace the steps
one by one
the choice is made
wind and sun
soil and sea
on the spinning ball
I am nothing
I am all

_________________________________________

your anger
barely contained
within your self
you create the chains
you feel the rage
you can’t forgive
inside your prison
you cannot live

_________________________________________

we hand out the masks
to all we can see
fear and pain
projected insecurities
we only see what we want to see

a kind word changes everything

_________________________________________

I live on this empty shore
in the land of the gulls
the sun drops into the sea
and the waves speak only to me
serenity exists where I reside

_________________________________________

Lost in this maze
this end of rage
the broken cries out
and sharpens her blade
weary and worn
immune to scorn
I choose solace by candlelight

_________________________________________

I miss my blood
with no remorse
inside my veins
it once did course
stolen from me
by your own woe
may you reap
what you have sown

_________________________________________

far
the distance is mind numbing
excruciating
hard to take
to fathom
the distance
between who you are
and who I thought you were

_________________________________________

We are the silent
counting the stars
questioning all
from a distance
as our thoughts are carried
upon the gentile wind
in our dreams
