Flashbacks

How could I know.
That such gem lied under my wing.
She claims my shadow,
But not my calling.

What an interesting one she is.
Fair in so many ways,
Strong in matters that count.

Naive... scared...
Yet tough as mountain's will.
Offers made, not taken, not denied.

"This is what I am.
But I still feel.
I still dream".

You came late? I think not.
My path will lead me somewhere.
Where? I am not certain.
But this wheel cannot be stopped now.

Welcome to the Club

You see again with reborn eyes.
Where you died, you cannot recall.
But where you were born you can tell it was your home.

There are waves that pass us by,
There are times where sound comes so thin. Memories so blushed, so sweet.
Yet few are times when you die in silence with such imagery.

Death, rebirth.

I died in solitude, confined to a room of dark corners.

Black, white.

Awoken somewhere in the middle of covers.
Immersed between soft shadows and dim rays that called for open eyes.

You knew it then...

Welcome back to the club, my friend.

There and Back Again

The water runs fast.
The rivers reach the oceans.
The rain falls earthbound.

Towards the stars my wishes go past.
Far beyond sight.
Closely near oblivion.

Arise a new moon,
A new sight,
The beginning of my end.

The race is long,
And fear is the only enemy.
In the end, it's only a race against yourself.

New teachings, new wisdom.
The ocean tide follows the moon
Wherever it goes.

Bringing new thoughts from new places,
Carrying burdens unknown to all.
Knowing paths that few would choose as their own.

The traveler arrives to a home he barely recognizes after so long.

The Shadow of Change

Something is calling me East...
Be it a feast of friends or a giant's wish.
I could care less.

It is not wise to answer every call.
It is not wise.

Yet, here I go.
Shadows following my every path.

My shadow. Change is coming through my shadow.

Please leave a light on... for me.

I will return.

Dark Plans

Seven seasons undone for treason...
Now the group united once more under one sole reason!
Who would have thought!?

Yet, bitter is the taste to our lips alone, without warmth.
No sweeter than thy candy blow and never seen before that rising glow.
Choose thy words with summons in mind, focused simply with delight.

There are shadows that cannot be seen, greater even than those which Suns can make.
Drowning in thy safeness...

Call me an angel, forth into this world.
Shine down upon my shadow, there are still lessons to be learned.

To pick up the acceptance of your words,
It comes to be pathetic as the existence that drives you.

Nevertheless, I still slumber, I still await my time.
When us all part ways, when us all venture off.

I cannot wait.

In the meantime... fear the unknown, and be a mere mortal...
Take up those lies and truths to heart,
Striving to reach new heights.

There are paths I follow... the path no one takes...
Where right and wrong collide into the core of oneself...

I must go places few dare reach... to find the essence of endless time.

Sadly I can only take with me those who wish follow.
Alas, they all know the risk!

Darkness stops us not... it simply covers our tracks.

Prepare... the night is upon us.
