Ocean of You

I've found myself captured in a beautiful place.
//
Diving to the end of the ocean
Every drop of water gliding past
My body spliting the water in ease and swift
To reach the bottom.
//
Silence fills the time, yet echoes sing of harmony
So peaceful, so touching, and so dangerous
My life clings to the pain, and to the joy
The Heaven, the Hell, and everything between.
In an Ocean of You.

The Evanescence of Life

Thursday February 3 2005 - My Lowest and Highest Moments in One

I was lost in my shadows
The light gone from my eyes
The feeling gone from life
No reason, no path, no end.
//
My body dead, the soul wandering
I stumbled
and with every step I fell closer to the edge
My breath stolen from me
My heart with another
Everything wrong
//
I went to the river to escape
The running water, the harmonious birds, the emptiness
Time slowed, allowed my senses to embrace
I tripped and fell to the darkness
But, something helped me
//
As I looked up, a tall tree had the face of comfort
I touched it's bark, and felt for the first time in a long time,
I felt, saw, lived it's story
It showed me my life and in the night, I found day
A day with people whom I loved
//
Standing up, the ground below me shook with it's pains
The leaves crunched with despair, the clouds moved with anger
The wind spread joy, the water gave flow, and I lived
I felt everything around me and came to realisation
With her holding my heart, my friends behind my choices,
And my dear brother guiding my hand.
//
Strength did not have to come from within just one.
My failure, my recover, the journey.
With haste and power
Is the Evanescence of Life
