Amnesia of the soul:

After all the things I have been through
I still need to rest
And all of the songs I have written
Are solely for you and i.
My eyes are always sleeping
Although my mind stays awake
But the eye is just a cover
For the feelings that we all keep inside.
I seem to have forgotten
What it is that you gave me
For it has been such a long time
Since I have seen who you really are.
Amnesia of the soul
Is a terrible pain to feel
It only makes you worse
But the sun still makes you warm
The sun still makes you scorn
But it will never make you remember.

There is a part in each of us which nevers sleeps; through it is the doorway to the infinite.

Welcome to PiP.  I hope you enjoy your stay here.

I thoroughly enjoyed your first post.  I came away with the feeling how all things revolve around the sun if we so choose to turn our face to the sky.
