In the silence
In the silence
thought waves echo ripples on the ocean of time
and in the darkness
the moon seeps through the clouds
like a faded memory
The faces of our ancestors keep watch
as we cross the horizon
of a new world
This realm of vast wilderness
and arid consciousness
aches for the flow of life
like the barren desert thirsts for rain after years of drought...
And when the sky cracks with thunder
the great spirit weeps
and is born again
in the fertile soils of the Earth
No soul shall perish,
yet we mourn the loss of our beloved
and rejoice in the beauty of creation
As the wheel of life turns
we see its path
only once it has moved on...
over the mountains
through the rivers
in the depths of our minds
and in the silence

dust
dust
that's all i am
a veil of illusion
dissipating
and falling back down to the Earth
what ever i was
is gone
...memories
...feelings
fading...
i am learning to let it be
no need for nostalgia
or stories and labels
there is no character
no roles and rules
only this fleeting moment
stained
with the dust of yesterday
i breath it in
i breath it out
and wether it was real or not
is in the eye of the beholder
i stroll down memory lane
but nothing stays the same
how my life has changed
chapters and pages turn
another town
another home
another mirror
yet what was i to them?
do i punish myself forever
for my sins
for my selfish need to implode
and dissolve
like dust
in the air
in my eyes
there are no tears
yet i feel the burn
of yesterdays dust
blurring my vision
it's all i have
i am running on fumes
running free
yet powerless
and afraid
of what is within
as i walk
i kick up the dust
and call out the ghosts
of all those i cannot seem to let go of
with each yearning thought
of lost love
of the affection i never received
of the boy i never was
just empty thoughts
like dust in my throat
a hint of what might have been
who i might be
if i were not alone
empty handed
standing
in a cloud of dust...
that's all i am
a veil of illusion
dissipating
and falling back down to the Earth
what ever i was
is gone
...memories

fading...
