And i see the worldFrom tearing eyesThat winds swayAnd breezes burnAs hearts attachedLosing patienceBut fathom notThe sanity that remainsLess than an atoms weight
Quiet am iAs winds pass byAnd birds flock the skyPassionately as they singThe songs of freedomAnd i ponder uponUnder the blazing sunAnd sing alongThe rhythm so sweetKnowing that i am ,but a wingless creatureTo whom the world,a darkened cage.
Awake by the darkness of nightSuccumbed to fearsThat belong notBefore the longing of sightI see not thy tearsOf joyful momentsWishing i be amongst the starsFading away before sunriseSmiling as victory be mineBut the heart lies notOf grief nor painAched beats resonating their own form of darknessEmanating from cracksThat cannot mend...
The space of the world is immense, before me and around me;If I turn quickly, I am terrified, feeling space surround me;Like a man in a boat on very clear, deep water, space frightens and confounds me.I see myself isolated in the universe, and wonderWhat effect I can have. My hands wave underThe heavens like specks of dust that are floating asunder.I hold myself up, and feel a big wind blowingMe like a gadfly into the dusk, without my knowingWhither or why or even how I am going.So much there is outside me, so infinitelySmall am I, what matter if minutelyI beat my way, to be lost immediately?
Long vast shapes... cooled and flushed through with darkness....Lidless windowsGlazed with a flashy lusterFrom some little pert cafe chirping up like a sparrow.And down among iron gutsPiled silverThrowing gray spatter of light... pale without heat...Like the pallor of dead bodies.
A Wife -- at daybreak I shall be --Sunrise -- Hast thou a Flag for me?At Midnight, I am but a Maid,How short it takes to make a Bride --Then -- Midnight, I have passed from theeUnto the East, and Victory --Midnight -- Good Night! I hear them call,The Angels bustle in the Hall --Softly my Future climbs the Stair,I fumble at my Childhood's prayerSo soon to be a Child no more --Eternity, I'm coming -- Sire,Savior -- I've seen the face -- before!
