Swept Into Dreams
Angels caught by the ocean
A distant dream for me to see
Where wild birds sway into motion
Where coming clouds encumber me
Visions of every answer
Droplets through the prison cell
The shackles burn like a cancer
As memories of the water fell
I am lost for no reason
Never more than I recall
This past now settles the seasons
As I become, the angels fall
No more sights to reveal me
Not much left to be declared
And war just waits for a treaty
Betray you all, because I’m scared
Blind death sending a letter
Strikes a nail into my heart
What will be for this murder
Will become when I depart
A lost bird guides me to oceans
Tears of loss recall the seas
And as angels flock to this notion
So suddenly, I’m swept into dreams
