pull it deep inside
an intense reassurance born out of mind
a gaze locked upon a hidden face
immortal ages trapped inside a conscious cage
dreary days illuminated by simple hope
fear flowing into hope like some polluted tributary
forming a new intense reflection
strengthening with quaint inflection
the holy base of hopes genuflection
what we search for can only be found
at moments when all seems so impure
and emptiness opens its gaping maw to consume
driving us to retributiion
opening our mouths and swallowing that hollow fiend
bringing us to where we be
with confused happiness and fear of expectations
a desire free of slavery
the wings I built for me
carrying away the negativity
