Paper-Thin Paintings

Breaking through the darkest night, suffering no more My dreams are of a deeper place, everything adored Everything alive, now there’s no such thing as death Eternity accounted for within a single breath Walking through an open door, leaving thoughts behind I drift beyond the maddening love I couldn’t find Nothing is forgotten, but I can forgive it all So much truth ahead of me, even if I fall Flying through the brightest sky, absorbing every sight Reflections made of paper-thin paintings of the night A thousand words for every scene, changing them to day The poetry I leave behind will always keep me safe Shifting through to higher realms, its beauty washing clean The ways in which I never could hold my self-esteem Perspective of the infinite through knowledge I have found I trust this deeper wisdom to translate all sight and sound Awakening the visions that have always pulled me near Rebirth to every corpse of truth in a world dying from fear An energy envelopes us that asks for our hearts Discovering that there is more to us was way back at the start
