Life Or Game
I see the light through faded vision
I see times' flight in this faceless prison
Scorned by death yet banished from life
In stasis somewhere beyond day and night
Somewhere I am but nowhere it be
Nowhere can I be alive or dead you see
I hear the sound of the babbling brook
I hear bird song as evening comes
I feel the wind pass through my soul
I taste the rain and feel the snow
Though sight I have no paned window
I see the movement and feel the shapes
I watch the sounds and colours escape
For they can pass through this place
They can find a peace some way
For I know not of what deal I made
I expected peace when I found my grave
But I can not live or die in this life or game.
