Earthbound

A falling silent sky And upside down, in this sky I cry Broken rules as all silence screams The air is thin, is this but a dream? A glowing distant star It comes so close, but its warmth is far Moonlight recites painful rhyme In space I breathe, but choke all the time A fading planet of blue The ocean all, reminds me of you With such delight I feel the sun Reflects the earth, as I am undone Solace of my disease That I can see, but never reprieve Creature of mine so peaceful here The blackest hole becoming so clear Burning in bitter night The webs of pain have made darkness bright So close to death and drifting alone I have become the faded unknown A glowing distant star The warmth has scorched, now it’s not so far The scattered night silencing fear Now thoughts of you; the ocean so clear Swimming in currents of light The reflecting stars charting my flight My tears reclaim the need for your love Just take me home, with all space above
