I sit back on the weight of the world
Looking at the weary path of life before me
Nothing's as clear as it once was
Every thing's so dark no light to see

I reach out my hand,and feel nothing
But the sheer shadows pressing upon my skin
I open my eyes to see something
A mirror stands before me, no beauty lies within

I close my eyes once more
As my body begins to act out
Scared, my eyes flutter back open
And I begin to look about

I suddenly feel numb, lifeless
Something aching, breathing on my neck
Ever so slightly it moves with ease
As I approach my time of death

I hear nothing, nothing but footsteps
I realize I'm walking on a winding path
My pace starts to quicken, I'm startled
As I start to feel his deathly wrath

My mind quickens, yearning to know
Each step, filled with a woeful breath
"You're in my hands now Darling,
Because this was your vision of death."

I Am the Waves Crashing

Storm clouds part the waves,
Crash to the shore as you fade
In and out again, torturous knots twisting,
Serpentine coils and loops of emotion
Falling in upon one another, like the storm
Pounding the fronds, the waves the energy -
Renew, collapse, revive, collapse,
And…there you are again,
Raging and crying in the rain.
My lost little boy, my clinging Princess,
There you are again, a weight dragging me down,
A rock clutched in my talons as I try to fly…
Shall I let you fall to the Earth?
Shall I let you flounder in the waves as they crash upon you?
Drift in and out,
Growing indifferent, I am…
Your games are barely tolerable in my state of bliss,
So go ahead, push my head underwater,
Hold me there in the waves…

You are powerless in my ascent.
I am the storm cloud rising,
I am the waves crashing, kissing the shore,
I can breathe underwater…

I can swim in the rain.
