1. THE SHORT WAY HOME

The stars hesitate before they fade
No light permeates this lifeless landscape.

Time falls on broken soil
(Untreaden)
Like silent blankets of lonely sleep.
Still and weak.

Debris writes me
A dance of solitude.
Growth born in death
Throw me into isolation.


2. ASHEN SLEEP

Inhale ash of older days
With balance, restfully.

Trusted in troubled sleep
I long to breathe.

Earth, now take me
Light breaks me.


3. EMERALD DREAM

(Instrumental)


4. SHE WAS A SILHOUETTE AGAINST THE SUNLIGHT

We watched the pelican spread its wings
My still mind sat stagnant
With haunting voice.

Wind howled through open wounds
She was a silhouette against the sunlight.

The dream fades, I lay alone
While tranquil sadness persists
I'm home.

I wash away.
