Swept Into Dreams

Angels caught by the ocean A distant dream for me to see Where wild birds sway into motion Where coming clouds encumber me Visions of every answer Droplets through the prison cell The shackles burn like a cancer As memories of the water fell I am lost for no reason Never more than I recall This past now settles the seasons As I become, the angels fall No more sights to reveal me Not much left to be declared And war just waits for a treaty Betray you all, because I’m scared Blind death sending a letter Strikes a nail into my heart What will be for this murder Will become when I depart A lost bird guides me to oceans Tears of loss recall the seas And as angels flock to this notion So suddenly, I’m swept into dreams
