Lest We Forget

 

Lest We Forget

Lest we forget

The dying of the day

When all the gold in this world

Ebbed away

And night as blankets

Fell in dark to cover

The crying child, the savage wild

The lover

The lover, lonely

In his shipwrecked bed

With naught but nightmares

Crying in his head

Lest we forget

The smiles

Now turned to scorn

As bittersweet sunrises

Call to morn

The morn

That dares not look upon the sky

But catches dreams in it's hands

As they die

For what is life

Without a dream to dream

All happy laughter

Turned into a scream

Perhaps we'll never know

Why love departed

And left it's ragged remnants

To this race so broken hearted

The world in sadness wept 

And it weeps yet

But raise those remnants high

Lest we forget.

Dreamtime and True repost

 

Dreamtime and True

Living lives in dreamtime

(This world, a shore of empty tides)

We think in terms of beauty

When our dreams and lives collide.

But waking in a dew filled dawn

We see ghosts among the mist

Night fades in shadows unadorned

With our faces dreamtime kissed.

We reach to catch that phantom

That our dreaming selves can hold

But eyes wide open cannot see

When passion turns to cold.

Were dreams to live in daylight

Were lives to live in dreams

Our hearts would know no difference

For the veil, it has no seams.

The human heart, a treasure chest

Full of jewels beyond compare

That in the light of life may dim

But in dreams shine brightly there.

Colors rage a thousand shades

Dream-colored and dream-hued

And though our lives seem gaunt and gray

In dreams we live the true.
