Awakening...

Left in black doubts for all we knew,
Memories faded, seen from far;
Lost in our sorrow,
Lost in faith-
Bright dreams never to attain.
In darkness lives our pain,
Sweet lies we hear in all that is said,
And bleed as we pass through time-
The last spark gone, condemned to die.
Found new hope, only clenched thin air;
Withered and wallowed in despair-
Slowly wasting from lack of care,
Clinging to all we have left.
Chasing glimpses of taunting light,
Singing no song to mourn our plight;
Learned to revel the thrill of flight,
To bite our lips before we cry.



Our days filled with mistakes,
All of which are too dearly paid,
Watch creations turn to dust,
In vain, grope at the past.
So weave our own stories,
Our wings though torn, we still have feet-
Dream dreams that will never die,
Paint grey skies blue to fly...
