As Life Goes On‏

As I look upon these lands of time unchained
I see the sun is brought where once it rained
and the darkness of the night, as though to balance out the sight
emits a dying wish for what is gained.

As I walk along this path of staring eyes
I feel their burning pupils pass me by
Their inviting amber glow, is the only thing I know
more powerful than poetry of lies.

As I weigh the life I lead up pound for pound
I start to feel that love is where I drowned
and rescued from the deep, like a flower in my sleep
the ocean's grave was where my heart was crowned

As I slept upon this bed with ears unhoned
I felt the warmth the wind brought as it moaned
and the swaying of the trees, in the violent blaring breeze
awoke the lucid mind in which I roamed.
