Eternal Slumber
Sanity spinning round’ the room
Never-ending might
Too soon swoons the soaring stars
Giving up the fight
Daylights sun cast out your ray
Rounding up the day
Always calling
While freefalling
Sounding out my name
Tumble tumble
Rumble rumble
Screeching to a halt
Sprouting screams
Running water
Can you taste the salt?
Can you see whose fault?
Will you find the wrought panicked breaths?
Coming from dawns early lungs?
Singing secret tunes
Different than before
Like forgotten lore
Hear the song that’s sung
Flashing in the dark
Spark spark spark
Wake wake wake
Fall fall falling
Down for God’s sake
Will you seek the halted breaths?
Will you find the sum?
Willing arms and body’s limbs
All but seem so numb
Beg the fate of morning’s glory
Plead for evermore
While conscious hope leaves eyes of wonder
The years begin to pour
Out of mind and out of heart
Faded light succumbs
Over eyes deprived of life
Lost in eternal slumber
