Imagine, just for a moment, a world turned grey Too dull to admire, and too bland to taste The pigments and tones have all been erased Dark have been my dreams of late Alone in this cold house My fire won't stay lit I look out my window And I can no longer tell where the lake meets the sky The horizon line ceases to exist There's only one thing that could make this winter end I find myself on a shoreline The waves will crash against my head And it's times like these I wouldn't mind sinking in But they've carried me to distant lands I hear a faint sound Subtle and curious Suddenly, tiny explosions from behind my eyes Magnified through space and time Vibrant colors sweep through this world Not dead, merely sleeping Pouring life into me I've been here before I recognize this place And upon my returning I am greeted with a smile With my spirit bursting at the seams I enter a forest And as I look around, now I see You are the light filtered through the trees
