Enigmatic field of steel grey,
The reproaching wakefulness baring heaves of ash.
Can anybody hear me,
The pale light beyond the dead grass?
A surreal swirl of wonder,
Weariness and wasteful,
Drawing me down and deep.
Smothered in the full embodiment
Of eternal sleep.
Keep me here, keep me going,
Though the landscape barren and the road long,
Let the horizon shine on.
