Forgotten City

"Seize The Vivid Sky

Out - into the coming on of night

Out - into a fiery failing light

The day is almost done

Earth spreads

I strech

Two lines set against the slipping sun

And I seize the vivid sky

Pain bright colours with the spectrum of my eye

Take in every breath deep enough to fly

Away from the lies these changes

have brought into our lives

Up into a tranquil place

that's constantly denied

Far from the crushing power

which brought me to my knees

Earthbound, justice stays

always out of reach

Disobey

Defy

Take your own time

Fly

Out - where hours unfurl, loosen from our hands

Out - where time is only shadows cast across the land

Earth spreads

I strech

Two lines set against the slipping sun

And I'll make my way to where

the warm scent of soil fills the evening air

Everything is waiting quietly out there..."
