I walked in darkness// I watched birds learn to fly
I listened for a moment// I heard a small world die.
For long I have traveled// past where flowers lie
strangers who never tarry// I turned my head in kind.
I walk in shadows// a world of my design
I listen for a stranger// seeking what is mine
1
In dreams we are simple // in fight, unkind
the land turns to ash and still you seek mine (i turn yours to ash)
and those who would vest you // with power, to blind
with sweetness uncertain // I offer you time
2
the struggle, eternal // with scales divine
I suffer for silence // and still you seek mine
