The Crystal Myth
By Laura Dee Battle
January 3, 2015
Match these lights to forgotten memories
Make the sea so carefully calm and hum along
The silence makes me itch away the misery
Be still, my dear, and speak the words you know are wrong
Don't think too much about the truth
It's been refracted in your looking glass
Can't you feel the deceiving voices from our youth?
Pass the trees and merrily decay the lessons you learned in class
School can't give you ways to finally be free
Under duress I stress your shining rebel soul
Make it loud enough to drown out your crystal clarity
Sleep tonight my dear, so we can find the morning light it stole
Come hide away with me in dreams you cannot see
But I can take you there where people never stare
In the place where we filter out the rapture of our memories
Survive the moment and live a single day free of despair
Tonight, tonight...
