Augury

The Lair Of Purity

Augury


From the day my eyes first open 
Voices inside started speaking 
Lullabies like faded memories of an Eden in eternal spring 
Where at will colors reappear, where creation blooms in rejoice 
Dodging away its mourning mantle 
In horizon ablaze the sun shone 
On those mourning themselves, slowly given back their senses 
Given courage to hold on longer and a goal to breathe for 

Desert traveler in a mirage welcome 
Feeling a presence, yearning for fairy hands 
To steer the dormant soul back to life again 
Remote heaven, like an island by all lines bypassed 
At times seen drifting in the horizon to disappear 

A mere glimpse was enough to reopen the wound 

The awakening comes 
Sorrows held within all want out at once 
All day sleepwalking 
Daydreaming over a memory 
A star around which all thoughts revolve, 
Worlds feeding on its light, 
At times the dream comes to life, yet elusive remains 

Stars fell from the skies, by this marvel overthrown 
At last breathed life in, from mire raised 
Reality comes soiling illusions 
With its clouds the skies darkens 

Flogged by the wind, howling heavenward 
To keep away storms marching in 
To halt the march of time, so winter won't come again 

Then the sleepwalking resumes, while the anima sleeps 
Chews its way to the core, worming within the domain of dreams 
Beckoning refuge, until the worm wiggles in its sleep 
In lust for this life again, this constant cycle of hopes and despairs
