The Eye of the Storm
Intrepid winds once....
Whispering serenities promises
Into the chambers of ones soul?
Watching these invisible wings, now
Carrying their dreams but far away
While reaching out to touch the hand
Of echoing breezes illusive embrace
To grasp the intangible things
Through bars of molten steel
Embedded and fused, into glass sharded concrete
Brushing past their amissful fingertips
Muddled visions of what could have been
But, what shall never be....
Piercing their eyes, these hurricanes of time
Tornadoes spawning, the devestation of a life
Cast into the medieval dungeon, of darkness' hell
As the waves crash violently upon the shore
Waiting for The Flying Dutchman to arrive
Driven by the gales, of tomorrows foreboding
Shackled in chains, fettered, by the skeletal crew....
The rogue, that shall lead them away forever
These the deaf, that could not hear serenities promise
Once whispered unto them, amid the intrepid winds
Transient storms, now carrying their souls afar
Beyond the rainbows, that melted in the sky
Beneath these scorching gusts, that blinded their sight
While they wasted their time within opticals
Reaching through verticals, thorn laced bars
Grasping at nothing, but the intangible tide
Breezes of ideos, that could have never saved their lives
Now, entering the shadows of eternities solemn door
Through....
