the clarity and fire of ten long years ago.
When all was a passion, when all seemed unfurled,

At the place, been the ruins imperial,
In the ominous midnight we`re lost-
Not belongings, but some immaterial.

AND SAW THE UNSEEN. 
ALLOW ME TO TRY. 
TO EXPLAIN WHAT I MEAN. 

UNSEEN ENERGY
IS NOT SEEN BUT FELT.
PHYSICALLY MENTALLY
AND EMOTIONALLY DEALT.

I FIND MYSELF
IN A WORLD ON FIRE.
I'M NOTING THERE'S NOTHING

It's sure hot out there!
It near sears the lungs,
To just breathe the air.
