Drifting thoughts rise in ascension Like orbiting planets in a spectrum Giving way to memories not mentioned Places are dreams penned for protection Waves crash and swell in the mind Sending ripples across oceans of time Countless journeys I've seen, fell behind Too much witnessed, still days can be bright Sun on moon casts infinite shadows Where the view was not clear, the path narrow Palm facing upwards, a spiritual tarot These walkways seem strange, and hallowed Asked for a name but gave none to interpret Lay awake under the stars surface Seeking to find ways we could emerge For too long, lived the life of a hermit The life of a hermit For too long, lived the life of a hermit The life of a hermit For too long, lived the life of a hermit The wind through the trees whispers Carelessly, light shines in splinters Cast asunder, into the void An ice frost permeates this feeling of winter Hail storms freeze internal covens The boundaries begin to plummet For so long they stayed covered But for now at least, I'm in the realm of buzzards Swooping down from on high with speed Effortless grace, diving with such ease A spiritual awakening in my grasp Voices telling us we should just be Asked for a name but gave none to believe In the forest, can't see the trees for the leaves I lay awake under the stars surface For too long lived a life that wasn't free Wasn't free Wasn't free Wasn't free Free Droplets of rain that fell a millennia ago Fall through cracks in rocks and flow Into underground rivers and lakes Slowly filling oceanic tributaries as they go Mirroring this process, my mind is liquid Taking memories to a place where they can be lifted Life is like the ocean, it's tumultuous Time is a harsh force it's not infinitely gifted Spiritual awakening in the eyes of the beholder Centuries growing, climates becoming colder This journey is mine alone to finish Atlas bearing the sky in his shoulders Asked for a name and gave none but my own Only with more time could we grow past what's below I lay awake under the stars surface and show For far too long lived a life that went by too slow Too slow Too slow Too slow Too slow Orbit

Energy rushing mind buzzing Lost deep in the current Dazzled by lights, sounds Time to grow and flourish Stars apart burst of colours World's away above us Placement, breath of essence In the mist, we find lovers Rising wind, flowing rain Climbing storms, slowing pain Signs and symbols are the same Rhythms, peace, ashes flames In vessels we ride Cursed history inside Legends were described Mighty elements collide Distance, not speed Compassion not greed A belief system needs Love, hope, and peace Energy rushing, polarity Ambivalence, clarity Darkness of unreality Curses, blessings and sanity A second like an age Better lost than afraid Wise words from a sage Distance lost and gained In the the oldest point in time Found it difficult to say why I couldn't be entwined In oceans, mountains, forests and skies Energy glides in my mind The road traveled behind Metaphors climb As lonely moments decline Aligning rays of light Atmospheric and bright Lessening damage and trauma Find soul patterns in eyes With an astral alignment A feeling, I'm not entitled To anything that's happened Spent too long chasing titles Floating mist, crashing waves Falling snow, rising plains Lost in days, swam in faith Dazzled lights, frozen grace I'm not fazed, I survived Into cold winter I dived Several millennia passed Measure growth, and divide Energy rushing, find focus Empathy isn't hopeless The depths of experience History builds and transposes Composes in a flash Blinding bang and a crash Wise words I listened Knowing everything could be dashed In the oldest point in time Found it difficult saying good-bye I couldn't be entwined Part of trees, streams, deserts and tides

Never knowing when the wind will blow When seas will rise when suns will glow A little flash of energy breathes life And then the seeds can be sown And then the seeds can be sown Blue spaces, filled with stark contrast Contours of the mind at long last Several times into the breach I've parted This continuous revolving montage In goes out and out goes in Patience seems to be fading thin Repeated to the ends of the earth Grenade dropped, pulled the pin Explosive, edges get blurred Truth a mantra getting served Hallow's searched no memory of kin Dark side wanderer, here to observe The motion of it all, in its entirety Sobering moments in sobriety Synapses keeping hope alive It's not seen, no notoriety Never knowing when the wind will blow When seas will rise when suns will glow A little flash of energy breathes life And then the seeds can be sown And then the seeds can be sown In this world, of invasive procedures Dark night falls, I lost features Speaking in monotone monochrome Washed up lost on stone covered beaches The only memory of a blue lotus The optimum position for focus Central to mindscapes is a haze Without that things become hopeless Lost and listless, a man is forgotten A man has no name when truth is uncommon A tale of lost envy and shattered dreams A man gives up, a man becomes solemn Taking away from the frozen components Dangerously close to witnessed omens Knowing to find a sense of something potent It was like it changed, and I was awoken I was awoken I was awoken Never knowing when the wind will blow When seas will rise when suns will glow A little flash of energy breathes life And then the seeds can be sown And then the seeds can be sown Omnipotent, the messages translate Past positions of lost fate Myth and legend coalesce I always knew I could see straight But was blocked by traps of my own beliefs Voiceless always needing to speak What I thought I was, I wasn't The containment of dreams I seek A shell of a man, a husk of an existence Rain falling in sheets I had persistence Travels became the method of motion A man becomes hope and resistance To the world of what was to be challenged Found hunger when before I was famished Found simplicity in complex dynamics Kept alive by hope, not the same old patterns Never knowing when the wind will blow When seas will rise, when sun's will glow A little flash of energy breathes life And then the seeds can be sown And then the seeds can be sown

When it falls, there is no more surface Crumbled away into different versions The conditions hotter than a furnace And I don't ever feel furnished With the means to survive this terror So, set forth my own internal measures My mind skips and drifts into space Whilst I await news that could take forever The details of this seem so meta Yet ethereal and light as a feather Looking down on articles from above Into the void I now feel so tethered When it all falls, we fall within When it all falls, we feel the sting Of lies and decay that's been brewing When it all falls, we start to spin As it falls, we see the drop emerging As it falls, inertia keeps us turning As it falls, we inhabit new realms As it falls, we create new versions When it falls, there is nothing solid, no mass No net to fall into, there is nothing to catch The wide world feels small and suddenly flat We fell together, at once, we were dashed There is no guidance, waves crash on solitary islands Closed minds, hearts and eyelids Internal compasses off track and lost Yet we still have those mental tyrants Giving us messages we can't seem to ignore Despite contemplating the hidden metaphors The wise words we seek in that darkness Let us examine the idea of something more When it all falls, we fall in cycles When it all falls, we aren't entitled To truth, messages or any lights When it all falls, we lose our vitals As it falls, we see the drop emerging As it falls, inertia keeps us turning As it falls, we inhabit new realms As it falls, we create new versions When it falls, we see the end of living Glass floors shatter, we float with no rhythm Ghost melodies play in the distance A sign of our demise, we start singing I always felt the end would be more dramatic That it would be louder, more emphatic But, it all fell off without a sound being made There was radio silence, just static Vibrancy and colour seemed to fade All that we once had, has now decayed The lucky ones were left to a elegant hall Like many, I was forced to remain, When it all falls, we drift into spirits When it all falls we defy physics We are elsewhere, something different When it all falls, we finally see we have no limits As it falls, we see the drop emerging As it falls, inertia keeps us turning As it falls, we inhabit new realms As it falls, we create new versions

Leaving in tact with the rhythm I go I never thought that things would just show It was a war torn country, inside my soul Different factions all seeking control But this is proving, much was an illusion I scanned those blueprints, I was human I knew I'd been misusing outgrew them My mind state upwards in this new role Final dawn stretches, in this sentence I know I crave something, not repentance It's kind of tricky, I am not sure I should mention There's a space above, it's like redemption Whenever I've needed to rise and fall I stumbled upon, times I could call I fell, stumbled and sprawled Reset the unknown, to see new halls Leave in tact as I search below No light permeates yet there's growth This is the energies of endless sun's Dispersed in beams, there is a flow Like water rushing to leaves after a flood Like pumping arteries with blood The pursuit of life is abundant Even when you thought there wasn't there is love Calculated on basic trust, we have sight This is moreover, a sense of light Giving no rhythms we know no different What has a bark, doesn't always have a bite So I take what I can from fleeting moments Waking myself up out of these comas In time, I snapped camera lenses Taking care not to feel so hopeless Leave in tact as I bestow A meaning and purpose in this flow The way to describe the feeling Of free falling, yet having a place to go And space to grow, in this dimension Behind the walls cos I felt threatened I haven't needed to stop or give up Even when I felt death start to beckon I didn't let him, I pursued Because the game isn't rigged to lose Climates can wash you away in storms So adapt to conditions, then disprove Be you, what other person can you imagine The fire burns, it can't be dampened Fatalistic casualties of the amalgam War with ourselves, screaming an anthem Scrapping with phantoms, trying to leave in tact Try to not get caught up in the attack On ourselves as not capable No idea too small, or life doesn't impact On others, think we never left a mark No human contact, it would be stark We have powers to help grow energies We left in tact with survivors, no Noah's ark
