Sunset

As sunset bleeds into the lake 
I have paralyzed myself with its beauty
Distant dreams are unimportant

As I practically fly through every mystery 
Where my inner self meets my soul
Despite fears, confusion, However,
reluctant, I could not speak 

When we have forgotten how to speak
And life has relaxed in abandondment
We consider the option of total denial or insanity

The world is not perfect 
This a prison of truth
Now I know what the actual world feels like
As I consider the option of prayer
I will be this way only a moment
As sunset bleeds into the lake
