Navriss In the Still

I closed my eyes to dream and my dreams were empty The Angel, the stairway, the stars, the star They were all gone It’s been so long since I felt her presence in my life In dream where once I liked to go for solace I find a void Silence In the face of such silence What am I supposed to do? I reach out into the wellspring and find it empty There’s nothing left and still Still I know something secret Something sweet Silence has fallen across my dreams like a blanket of snow Somehow cold and desolate in the quiet I know that I am supposed to feel despair Because I am alone Bereft of my guide, has fled me But there is no despair There is nothing I am alone in the silence of my dreams I know I guess in the absence of despair I am just left to wonder Just left to wonder How come I know it is silent at all?
