Untitled

behind the shadows and visions bestowed 
lies a valley.. the spirits abode 

each spirit inherits a quest 
that only time can help manifest 

but with every manifestation within lies the spark 
a thought in consciousness a light in the dark 

a flame that flickers in each persons heart 
and with each revolution there was also a start 

but as we transcend each thought in a frame 
the greater the fire that came out of the flame 

like a tale prepared for a feast 
we were nothing more than food for beasts 

but as the mind and body become one, the spirit began to grow 
the viel of deception was lifted and the world we began to know
