Gilded with gold
Embedded with silver
Hidden in that bottomless river
Things that were lacking
in the eyes of the young
Things that were hidden
away from the sun.
The light has fallen away from the sky
bringing out the joys and terrors of the night
If you could only see those buried dreams
and hear the freedom of that young mind sing
maybe your eyes will finally see
the things that were always meant to be
Give us a chance to speak our mind
Do not afraid to let us stand up and try
Let our imaginations run free
and to do that you must first turn the key.
There once was a King who sat on a throne
deep inside the pits that were once unknown
As war waged above
a heartless terror
those serene blue eyes
morphing to something that can sever
the hearts of all mortal men
shatter the hope of those unseen at one end
drive you to kill the one called friend
leaving nothing to mend
when insanity reigns
Stretch up towards the sky
as the birds look down upon you when they fly by
The endless roads above you, a place where no one lands
a clear canvas for your imagination's skilled hands
There is a time and place when the mind is at it's prime
untouched and beautiful, in other words pristine
What will be thought of?
The many colors of a priceless painting
ranging from blue to black to white?
A book written from the heart
that starts with the words Once Upon A Time?
How about a song from the soul
that will be sung to children long after your life?
This is the beauty of a wondrous mind
unchanged, not affected by the works of the things around it in it's time.
Look up at the never ending sky
leave your inhibitions behind
Search the world around you
as you will find many things in it true
Don’t stop the inspirations from reaching you
or leave your creativity hanging in the blue
Let your mind out of the cage from where it weeps
constricted by the iron grip of the mindless drones who sleep
Take the time to look around
to the world that yearns to be found
Skip some stones in the crystal rivers
and dig your toes into the lush, green and silvers
Reach out to the horizon above and beyond
and let your mind break out into its own song
Welcome to my home
My heart and my soul
What do you see?
The dusty drapes and the darkened light?
The broken pieces left from a fight?
If you look closer into the dark
you can see those blood red orbs
that hide a smile within its tears
wary of all its inner fears
What will you do?
Will you take a step closer?
Will you lend a hand,
A shoulder to cry on
or a word of comfort?
Take her hand and you will see
a crack appearing on that perfect face,
untold history that would make your heart race,
Defenses being stripped away
to show what was being hidden in the dark
with such determination and hate.
Alas, alas if you come closer
that little girl will only run farther
Farther away from you comforting arms
into the dark
into herself
locking away her desires
her hopes and her dreams
Will you ever see the real me?
That is the question that I always ask.
A plea for help
a ray of hope?
Are those too much to ask for?
