Solace 10:40
A mist enshrouds my body Insulating self illusions A sudden disconnect From willful ignorance I wander aimlessly Under grey skies Submerging into My most inner laments The sight of blood overwhelms me Seeping from my hands to the dirt Ideals are vanishing before me Into a void far out of reach Becoming self aware Regretting everything Dysphoria overtakes me Regression spirals In solace, I dream infinitely Landscapes dissolve around me Merging into a shrine of loss Frailness becomes apparent Collapsing under weight Celestial signs appear Moonlight illuminating The deepest depths Of the grieving world I left behind In solace, I dream infinitely Of the grieving world I left behind In shame, dreams become waste Carve my epitaph here

Oceans Apart 05:05
Lying alone on the shore Beaten, bruised, and exhausted Solemnly waiting in silence Etching your name in the sand As radiant as the sun I can feel you From many oceans away Drifting further I’ve waited so long For just one moment I’ve waited so long To see you again And I’ll wait forever The waters rise Grains of sand bind The oceans become Crystal clear Lying alone on the shore Disoriented and ashamed I saw a light It wasn’t you
3.
Here again I couldn’t bear to see Another souvenir Empty and vast This is it The place I imagined I can feel a spiritual presence So faint but somehow familiar The wind caresses me gently The scent of spring reawakens I am left here To contemplate my place To determine my role In this infinite vastness Still… Silence in the distance No shelter for miles Stillness lingers Beyond my senses No, I no longer feel bound “Follow” The waters beckon again Horizons blur “Behold” Spirits reside here My feet ascend

Standing here alone with you In an unfamiliar place Souls intertwined Every part of me exposed I never walked barefooted I never searched for answers I never forged my own path I never sought a meaning It always seemed the same, the earth could never be tamed I couldn’t wash it away, the shame is here to stay I hate the thought of your voice, in every possible way Because I can’t remember what it sounds like Clinging to fading images In remembrance of you I watched the light fade from your eyes Like the sun becoming sand I watched you draw your last breath In harmony with the morning breeze I watched the life fade from your eyes I stood breathless As you drew your last breath I witnessed your departure Standing here alone with you In an unfamiliar place Souls intertwined… ...In remembrance of you
5.
Mind and body are one Body and earth are one Earth and sky are one Sky and spirit are one Here I stand at the threshold of existence Falling deeper into my subconscious Despite the loneliness I felt It seems a distant memory now I close my eyes and I can see The birth of stars and their constellations I can feel the energy surging From the sun into my veins “Dreamer, I can still feel your presence” I became emotion I became serenity I can sense eternity In my own reality I became peace I became chaos And for the first time I felt balance Faller, did you feel the weight of the world? Because I watched it all collapse I stand before the earth Unafraid and unashamed Mind and body are one Body and earth are one Earth and sky are one Sky and spirit are one

Yūgen 06:43
Life begins anew In infinite vastness Abundant energy Eternal meditation Life ceases Time halts Earth and sky merge Becoming transparent Temporal transcendence Immortal embodiment In tranquility Dreams become reality

Omen 02:47

I had never felt so helpless Watching my decay The scars were hidden too long And could never be healed I had never felt so lonesome Yearning for a connection Searching for a reaction Raising my voice with no resonance But then the shadows dissolved I felt the gentle caress of the rain All matter merged into one I found myself in the universe I watched life and death intertwine And vanish before me I became the fabric of light And I embraced the world Bleeding into one Fading endlessly Merging with the earth I see clearly now Colors I never imagined Rivers becoming oceans Sky reflecting landscapes Continents drifting together This is absolution I see clearly now It’s all so surreal Become one In union, we dream infinitely
