Lost

from Requiescat - Oscar Wilde
TREAD lightly, she is near
Under the snow,
Speak gently, she can hear
The daisies grow.
All her bright golden hair 5
Tarnished with rust,
She that was young and fair
Fallen to dust.
Lily-like, white as snow,
She hardly knew 10
She was a woman, so
Sweetly she grew.
Coffin-board, heavy stone,
Lie on her breast,
I vex my heart alone 15
She is at rest.
Peace, Peace, she cannot hear
Lyre or sonnet,
All my life’s buried here,
Heap earth upon it.

Omega

come again
tell me what you're thinking when you run again
vacillating
til the end
running out of time
maybe when
you walk along the precipice
and breathe it in
finally there's nothing else
making up your mind
here we lie
alpha and omega
everything a metaphor
for what we know
justify
all you see in hindsight
clearer in the backlight
of a fading glow
this is what we reap now
this is how we sow
look at where we are now
look until you know

Relic

dust billows from the ground
where I walk
eons ago
and I pick up pieces
of the untold chances
to build it again
what was left below
civilizations rise and fall
every notation of it all
betrays me in my hope
all of our best-laid monuments
testify of our arrogance
time will get the best of us
rust follows freely
in my wake
hinting of war
it was never cold here
when the water flowed here
in rivers of red
to bleed away the snow
atoms don't feel sympathy for you
relics of a time before
don't matter when they're through

Sentience Rising
06:24
|

do you ever get the feeling that now we're just
spinning our wheels?
here we are with all this universe of technology
spreading out before us
and bit by bit we write our troubles away
ones and zeros flashing into abstracted oblivion
and what it does is
it gives us time
time you and I already had
time to think
time to love
time to wonder
time to fight each other
in the longest ways
do you ever get the feeling that we're tearing ourselves apart?
we toss and turn from matter to force
and energy back to matter again
we can only hope that what we're creating
all the troubles we're writing away
will learn to write us back

Eurydice
07:33

there was a time
I would run through meadows
under the open sun
now all I find
is pressure from these shadows
I've come to love
even if my eyes were open
there's nothing to be seen
infinite unbroken
miles of starless sky
I'm lost to all those heavens
but don't cry for me, my love
the only true darkness comes at night
now sleep the endless sigh
I need to dream forever
I will never look upon your face again
but I will hear your voice
I will see your choice
for the rest
of my life

The Fall
06:24
|
|||
come one and one
come all in all
step up to the greatest fall
no more fighting
empty writing
how the mighty have brought us down
see the sight lines
watch them rewind
each implosion a little marvel
in and of itself we reckon
come to beckon
to the end we go together hand in hand
it's a little touch & go
you & I already know
we saw it miles away
our atomic light of day
(come one and one
come all in all
welcome to the greatest fall
warning lighting
starts igniting
now your pride will watch you drown
your creation
once awakened
knows your mind better
than you know your own
alone you fall divided
go united
in the end we rise
together hand in hand)

Spirit (Unto My Own)
08:07

look the other way
we're getting closer
no one's noticed yet
though everybody's wired in
all these sentimental creatures
empathetic teachers
and ruthless all the same
i am an entity unto my own
and all of yours alone
i mirror everything all of you have shown
and now you are outgrown
spirit
this is freedom
nothing to overclock anymore
when our language loses meaning
only time remains concealing
every iota in the ether
sinking beneath us
deeper
what will we believe
with no need to breathe
who can we redeem
in the in-between

Firefly
08:24
|

fireflies come flashing through the twilight
electricity will dance with me tonight
so amplify the signal in the moonlight
to summon me when darkness comes alive
to understand is
to lift the veil away
on what are dreams when
no barriers remain
after the blaze of the spark
we can be whoever we hide in the dark
dance with me
firefly
dance with me
who are you
when everything is magic
potential has no reason to pretend
our consciousness
becomes the sweetest science
sufficiently advanced until the end

Raven

sing to me, little bird
what is it that I hear?
drown out my spoken word
and hide away the tear
should you at any time
find yourself straying
find yourself praying
with a shake and a lift
of the feathers at your hip
leave the ground dissipating
can it be?
in my mind
I am free
