BLUE SKIES Once I knew a poet We met between the lines Beneath domes of verse So vast and sublime Walked me past gardens Adorned by flowers of youth Cast a trusting curtain On future's stain on truth From the rustung page Resounded songs of love In a flutter the words Rose all around And have fueled the embers since It was the day I learned to live Every piece a gift to life Onchain again the endless skies We live the dearest hope To leave but beauty in our fall Once I met a painter Between the green and blue A face lined like canvas Carved with joy and woe As the colours trailed Off into the dark In gentle strokes And the smiling eyes closed For a world they had caressed so long It was the day I learned to die Every piece a gift to life Onchain again the endless skies We live the dearest hope To leave but beauty in our fall SCORCHED EARTH How profound are lines of idle dreams What is the vain fool to the world A child afraid of growing up As wells of olden days run dry All dreams will unpavel at dawn THE INNER CIRCLE I may have nothing else to show Than revelling in the flows of all Although too soon my time is high I'll be beyond the curtain call A dew-boin soul who learned to fly And that is all I need to know Flying upon a frozen sea Of souls cold and full of atrocity Hope to wake up afraid what will be But is it a dream or reality? Two fragile silhouettes closely embraced Their world hidden in a floating crystal ball Fulfilled with the greatest and purest gift of all Each crack mended by love THE CORE Every piece a gift to life Onchain again the endless skies Though the world has showin us cold In all our hearts the stories unfold Blessed by weeping eyes we'll never see A blessing dormant in you
