I awake to the grey numbness of day
Caged still in a room amid towers
Grey words echo false kings’ heated lies
To a world chained in both mind and body
Hope and Love cling beyond the dream
Fortifying my mind and will
With echos and visions of my love
And the need to protect us all
I am not the strongest nor the only
But maybe my mind’s the true key
I can’t forsake the world now
Not if she does need me to speak
After a lone night I know my path
Words encased in truth and amethist
Spill from my mind upon the white
Leaves collecting that collect insight
At this point my story is more true
Than those presented to the world
As the only facts left undenyable
For it has always been told
For the real can hold onto love
Through every breath and life
We discard our every hate
And fight back against the clouds
Not only have I seen a place
Sheltered from this terror-plague
But I live as proof we can survive
Immune to all the blinding fear
I step upon the old cracked stones
Clarity fusing black feathers
With the marrow of this scarecrow
Bleeding new myths with the truth
I’m carried forth by drums
Heartbeats drowning out the grey
Threads pulling closer
Until my head is filled with cries
I step under the deep trees
Let the green swallow clouds
As I move towards a messenger
To unlock what I know
