Ground up Sky down

 

Ground up Sky down

            Chained by wronging

            Pressed knee deep in sorrow

            All around fades

            Memories become echoes

           

            A broken heart

            Lives and breaths

            Round and round so he sees

            Darkened clouds, skys and seas

 

            Blind in eyes

            Yet he feels the cage

            In flames of orange

            The world moves

 

            Blisters mark skin

            Symbols ring around his ears

            Gone all has been done

            A sliver of hope burns inside

 

            A voice a voice

            Comes out from far

            soothing, memorable, strong

            His ears find its call

 

            The spark ignites in bright white

            Body and mind break in lines

            shackles are shattered

            Black and gray fade

 

            Flames disapate

            Clear eyes he is given

            Reawoken in the world

            A purpose so he has reaped

 

            Blue cool water runs past his feet

            Golden skys run against him

            Clean air swallows his body

            Ground up Sky down all is done

 

            Let his journey begin

            Him and his everlasting kin
