Fin

Falling from life's final rung,
water fills each aching lung,

Drowning in the sea of time,
torrid past prevents my climb,

Sinking to the depths of hate,
anger's shroud will not sedate,

Set adrift in hopelessness,
starved of air and heaven's bliss,

Darkness fills my mind with dread,
trapped within this loathsome bed,

Heartless shell my deeds reveal,
never more life's warmth to feel.

Destiny

Sunrise on savannah plain,
graceful flight of noble crane,
silent wings of gliding bee,
drifting leaf from ancient tree,

Wonders for the world to view,
lost to all but special few,
modern man with savage ways,
counting down our ending days,

Worker ants we slave and toil,
ignorant of sky and soil,
lost in pointless task and deed,
wounded planet left to bleed,

Die is cast by dark desire,
destined for eternal fire,
hellish flame engulfs us all,
man and beast together fall,

Sunset with atomic dawn,
empty lands of hope forlorn,
blackened soil of absent trees,
silent world no birds or bees,

Wonders lost before their time,
man the cause of epic crime,
savage man of modern days,
grieving for their former ways.

Bond

Smile for me and I’ll be yours,
souls entwined cross distant shores,

Dream of me and I’ll be free,
to hold your heart inside of me,

Think of me and I’ll be there,
inseparable- the perfect pair,

Wish for me your loving friend,
my heart and soul to you I send.

Origins

Sacred rites of time unknown,
Echoes of the past in stone,

Remnants of most sacred tribes,
Published works of ancient scribes,

Excerpts from the lives of kings,
Noble crowns with falcon wings,

Tomes of ancient science lost,
Secret skills new gods have cost.

Visions

Shadows of forgotten times,
silent thoughts in sacred minds,

Happy moments brief in time,
hours lost in dreams sublime,

Shadows taint the hallowed ground,
loved ones lost and never found,

Hopeless dreams in darkness dwell,
soon to leave this mortal shell.
