The Visitor

mp3

 

Looking down from the northern sky

thought I, I've been here before

 

Mesmerized by the crystal night

my flight brought me down for more

 

Above forests in a sea of snow

I go leaving not a trace

 

and the lakes and the stars they hold

like gold in their dark embrace

 

Blue world you did entice

travelers like I

 

with clear and wintery skies

you

soothed my weary and

tired eyes

 

But, my God, that was long ago

I know not from where I came

 

Nor do I know for where I'm bound

our the sound of my own name

 

Beauty weeps as desires claw

in awe frenzied by the fake

 

Pistons rage as the engines war

how much more can a spirit take

 

Cruel world you did entice

travelers like I

 

but now with fiery skies

you

blind these all but

forsaken eyes

 

Though looking up at the clear night sky

and my memories the same

there are times that it seems that I

remember whence I came

 

But these visions are far between

I feel desperate, gasping for time

and as I wonder, what do they mean

I pray my songs will carry me

back to what I've seen

 

Shackles break as my spirits soar

once more free to play and roam

 

No more valley, no more shadow, nor death

my breath is a wind for home

 

Heavens sail in my body bright

their light is my long lost name

 

Planets dance in my laughing heart

as a part of this always game

 

Small world you did entice

travelers like I

 

sweet tear in long ago sky

you

light the blue in my

knowing

loving

always

seeing

eye
