Flight of the Angel Prophetic are the dreams of the chosen For they live in death and die in memories Through sparkling crystalline eyes they see A place where death does not exist Blessed be those who see through the deceit A curse to those who wallow in conceit I walk along golden cobblestones Where purple and orange tulips lace the land My feet are guided by destiny Though I know not where I go Fear nudges me to take flight I want to soar as eagles do Simple are the whims of Gods And those who know this take advantage These re-born spirits in old bodies Appear out of silence and whisper to the blind “Fly away my little birds, fly away” they whisper, “For a storm arises from the East, and who shall be safe”? Through watery eyes I continue my journey Watching the bright yellow moon kiss this fragile world This reminds me of the innocent The passionate and sweet dreams of the children And this I feel in my heart For I have stared into the eyes of the lost Only to glimpse shadows of myself I humbly embrace my faith I have seen ghosts walk amongst the living And I have happened upon the dead Where cirrus clouds were abound Racing swiftly across the skies Creating giant shadows of time against white temples Temples whose peaks reach the Heavens As a multitude of solemn bodies continue to build Reaching out to that which they do not understand I now realize and relish in my destiny A prophet has awakend! And as I relinquish that old body There is a whispering in my ear “A storm arises in the East, fly little eagle—fly” But I smile amiably Because the stars wink encouragingly to tomorrow And my dreams have told me the sun will shine forever.

I have seen ghosts walk amongst the living And I have happened upon the dead Where cirrus clouds were abound Racing swiftly across the skies ~*~ The imagery... is wonderful! |
