Dreamy caught a vision
and all the stoics laughed
after what she beheld
Dreamy was laughing last

There is no inner silence
that ever tames the beast
one look is all i ask for
and then i'll leave it be

if you wish
and there are no stars
who can you
blame for what you are?

one deep breath
may be all you have
hold it out
better make it last

Dreamy caught a vision
and wished it could come true
though all the doubt she fought
found a way to shine through

there are no dreams of silence
there are no wars for peace
Gaia's alive in this world
her blood it flows in me

wake up now
so these words make sense
head up high
fight for consciousness


i dream deep
the way of all flesh
all these tears
cut off my last breath
 

Going on a journey I’ll be back in seven years
Onto the River that knows all my tears
Out through the mist farther than the stars can shine
I’ll claim from Lady River what is rightfully mine
I know you are crying despite your brave claims
Been down the River many times I’ll return again
Watch for the red sunrise to signal my return
Until that autumn day let the bright lanterns burn
Let me hold you in my arms, whisper softly in your ear
Though I am far from you, your love I will keep near
A sacred promise to you and my son yet to be born
I will return when seven years are done
Summers come, summers go
Springtime birds and winter snow
The stars have betrayed me I’m all alone
Been so many years, and I’m so far from home
Lover do your prayers, do they still come for me
I forsake my vengeance, all I want is to return to my family
Lady River I pray, carry me home
Grant me the greatest speed, carry me home
Many years I’ve waited for what I’m to receive
When I return home I vow never to leave
Red sun rising in the sky
Lover do you hear my joyous cry
Long I’ve waited for my return
To my home where the bright lanterns burn
Lover I long to feel your love
To finally hold my son
Cool breeze blowing in the air
Oh my home I am almost there
What has happened to my home
The lanterns do not burn
What has happened to my love
How cruelly the world turns
Summers come, summers go
Springtime birds, winter snow
The gods have betrayed me I’m all alone
Lady River carry me home

Storm tossed,
winds of change
hails shadows
of doubt.

Darkens the light,
the brightest light
which shines
within to see.

Deciphering,
and sorting,
facts between fiction
of what I know.

Grasping
encapsulated truths
accumulated overtime.
held in reserves, in mind

Needing all resources
of past lessons learned.
vital lifelines,
to keep this ship afloat.

In the pits of time,
where sand sits, forming as slate
where bones crumble and become dust
where life ends and from nothing begins again.
a man with the mind of a boy
stands knee deep and offers his heart
to the hungry dogs that lust for chaos.
and he waits... for the final freedom he craves so.

At the bottom of a hot spring
lies small pebbles glowing with wisdom;
gems of wise men and the enlightened;
gems of an opened-minded individual.
under these stones a body rests.
a forgotten man who gave all he had
to obtain the one thing he was always denied;
and though he died alone at the jaws of hate,
he died for peace... and peace he did obtain...

... Odd. I think I'm a physicist and it seems judging by his notes that the corpse was as well. The last note he left was written in blood and I suspect it was his own.

"The coward dies a thousand deaths before he can escape..."
