Shifting Gale

Pan to the open door in the sky 
Mother Nature's afterthought 
Calming tufts of dawning light 
Beating the grays, calming the night 

Resting piles of eerie stone 
Days of past gone terribly wrong 
If your lies make truths in fact 
Fall into the midnight's pact 
To become one with the sun 
You'll find you're not the only one 

Trestles suspend from worn ground 
Supporting the weight of this entire town 
Let's get out 
While we still can 
Daylight is all I need 
To bound apart a burgeoning seed 
In the wild, where it will be 
Built of Mother Nature's altered dreams 

In a state of mind meant to depart 
The journey of a world-weary heart begins
