Silence
I whisper into the silence to see if anyone is there
While the moon casts a calm reflection I wonder what I will hear
The voices of timid strangers roaming through the night
Invited by the darkness convincing them that its alright
And not to fear the sleeping giants nor their deep aphotic dreams
Embrace your somber phantoms they will help you find the light you seek
Then I stared far beyond the horizon into the great abyss of emptiness
At that moment all of my hell stood still and I know why I exist
Although my body is bound by gravity my soul is a billion light years away
Im still no closer to forever, but heaven is on my way

Pure class Jesse.
I sometimes wonder if you realise what a talent you have for composing... This is a really first class surreal write. When I read 'At that moment all of my hell stood still and I know why I exist' I though "Lucky You" - so many of go through life never knowing why we exist.
Best wishes

i've said before,,what flows from you is of the mystical! Thank you for bringing us this sharing
...and then I read - what a joy. I would have to 2nd what's been said in the previous comments, and add that I esp. love:
Although my body is bound by gravity my soul is a billion light years away
Im still no closer to forever, but heaven is on my way
Loved it!
