Dancing_Through_Grief_by_Arielle_Carroll
Light fades
As the sun strokes a final toll upon the sand
Waves dry the tears
With the salt of the barren night sky
And the blue of the opium forest
Lifts itself like gentle angel dreams
Daunted yet daring
To chase the wintered whispers of a neverless horizon
Over the edge of the world
With tiny pebbles beneath my feet
I wither and die beneath the call of the pallid horseman
As we make our escape to destiny’s halls
Faster than the sun
Stronger than the wind
While we set our sails for tomorrow
And kiss the grail of yesterday
Goodbye
Without my young and boundless soul
Days would wind like wandering roots
Searching for a drop of calm
Until the burial reveals its rotted grace
Yet for endless chariot rides
I dare to dive inwards
Toward the scented fields of grey
Softly drifting seas of sky
Turn my eyes away
As dawn appears in the spectred veil
Of illusionary breath
Sheltered within the arms of the solitary mass
Endlessly envisioned within a glass of hope
Yet hopeless in the fog of their distance
Reaching for joy, yet touching only windless void
And the call of its desire keeps touching still
Oblivion
Such woundless naught
Peace is silence
And silence is that which I crave
Light fades
As the night casts its infinite wish upon the earth
The gloom lifts the tears
And I realize my path
Half past the hour of ascent
