I Come From a Land

I come from a land of distant diluted dreams
Healing hearts and stagnant separative streams
I come from a land where the midnight glows
Rivers rendered red, rituals of the relentless rose

I come from a land of wavering wintered wills
Frozen ferocious fires and avalanche spills
I come from a land of scurrying selfish smiles
Where love rushes through the many miles

I come from a land of warring white and black
Where day and night are under unfair attack
I come from a land of where you may reside
An unfinished universe where I hermetically hide.
