Look Inside, Sometimes Its There

I left her on the blue shores of a dream
promising to return again

she sat down in the sands of time
looking at a sun that will never set

she held her knees to her chest
she rocked slowly

as she rocked, time faded
everything began to melt

colors changed from ethereal to bland
in that moment I wanted to turn around

it was to late
the blue shore ceased to exist

realizing I might never make it back
I fell to my knees, my heart cried

searching my inner being for a way back
I force myself to sleep

no dreams
just nightmares

walking through my psyche I meet a shadow with a map
the map is sealed with a soul

I must free the soul first
or the map will remain sealed forever

I take the map
I touch the soul

it feels familiar
it feels like a memory

the shadow stands behind me, waiting
I feel my heart begin to cry

the soul the map is sealed with is my own
the shadow takes my hand and guides me

hand in hand we walk down a corridor made of moon stones
my heart weeps

the shadow speaks of guilt
holding my chin she tells me to let it go

the shadow speaks of fate
holding my hand tighter, she tells me it was predetermined

tears from my heart are released through my eyes
the shadow wipes my tears away

the moon stones begin to light up
the shadow fades

the map opens, revealing a mirror
I see myself

standing on the blue shores of a dream
I stare at a sun that will never set
