Crossing Time

Born cold with a dark emptiness within Seeking to understand the reasons why Another life? A payment for its sin Leaves a quiet quiver when the soul cries Wanting eyes flow with a warm stream of tears Struggling through distant worlds out of time Lost among the confusion from the years The lonely chime of my eternal rhyme Perception fills the universe with lies Tugging the long thread woven in its cloth To mend life's fragile coat with blinded eyes Feel it burn in death's flame another moth I've tasted the waters of life's fountain And have quenched my soul's old thirst once again
