Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

Your looking through a broken window
At the blood pooling on the glass
As your innocent ears greet
the dying sounds of men on the grass

You can see the fragments
of the human soul
Looking down at the red liqued
At the thing that once was whole

Then the pool seems to shatter
Reaching out to swallow the floor
You are consumed by its deadly dance
By its timeless quest for the door

You move to follow the river
As if its beckoning you
Entransed by the velvety sheen
You are helpless in what you do

As you open the door
Walk out into your mind
You bypass all the sparkling things
Grown lusterless and dull with time

You don't stop to smell
The beauty of the flowers
Or marvel at the height of trees
Nor do you see how high the tallest spire towers

You follow that shining red line
that crosses your hazy sighte
Soon running to catch up
with the velvety thing's flight

It stops at the edge of your dream
And soaks into the ground
You stumble as, suddenly, the dying man's gasps
seem to pierce your ears at a deafening sound

The innocense is gone as
you feel metal touch your head
You here children screaming
your limbs feel like lead

You look at the creature
that towers over you
A weapon of death held firmly
And you know what it's going to do

You shut your eyes tightly
So tears will not be seen
You now long for the high trees
and flowers drift through your dreams

you feel your sorrows run down your cheeks
then everything is gone
you missed the cry of the thing above you
and the mournful keening song

The creature fell and cried
its device thrown away in fright
I never thought it would be that easy
To end one persons' life
