Stone Mirrors

Remembrance

A storm of gray ashes lashes my face
 I watch the sky unreal and pale
 I witness the dance of clouds
 Until the tide breaks against the rock
 Waking up the silence's reign

 Where I stand, the skin of the earth
 Rests now of sand and stone

 When the waters turn our memories to stones
 Where I dance is where we will die
 The black ashes take me to a timeless sleep
 In which I fall, like you will too
 The springs melt in the beat
 Obsidian walls of larva

 Where I stand, we become rust
 An empty shell, dying on the seaside
 We are this desolated show
 This absence of colour

 My eyes are veiled by the dust, thick and heavy
 Stone-faced gaze of the mountain
 Watching me fight my way
 Through the looming stones
 And I run...

 I run the disembodied woods, the ash coated landscapes
 They are waiting to take me, but the gray mist will pretend that here,
 I never was...
