1.
Listen. . . With faint dry sound, Like steps of passing ghosts, The leaves, frost-crisp'd, break from the trees And fall.
2.
Behind the mirror You can find the source of your disdain The deeper you dive, the clearer it gets. In the quiet you can feel it As it slowly breaks you into a thousand pieces That spin around and ‘round Until they fall into A mosaic of decay. . . Oh bittersweet revelation! Blinded by the glare and deafened by those voices How can thoughts be free? How can they be free? Close your eyes and try to see. . . What if the monsters we fear are only the shadows of ourselves?
3.
Little bird across the room With colored wings wide spread Surrounded by such lively bloom And yet inside you’re dead Your feathers weren’t meant to fly Your throat not made to sing Just made to please the viewer’s eye With what nature used to bring Frozen in free fall Stuck to the paper on the wall I know you are a drawing Yet in your eyes I found That you and I we somehow have some common ground Both of us we doubt That someday we’ll be free To use what natures given as a gift To you and me You lost your body, I my soul Both robbed of true belief No spirit to rely upon Doomed like treeless leaves Indifferent are the faces Yet no one is to blame For we are mostly taught to see Just our side of the frame So if you had a heart Would you sing for me? I promise if I could then I would Set you free You lost your body, I my soul Both robbed of true belief No spirit to rely upon Doomed like treeless leaves
