Set Alight - Barren Earth

Hiding is

A life for some

We wait for the storms to come

Maybe they

Are always there

Striking down on others where we can’t go

Crashing into their hearts

Souls ablaze

Thunder shaking their minds

Wide awake

In the dashing lightning

In the pouring rain

As their bodies bum

A jolt of life for one last time

As die rumbling drifts by and fades

I can only claim to have dreamed

And when the flicker in the clouds is to be seen no more

I travel on

Here we walk

Every day

Searching and dreaming ourselves out of the grey

Colours bled from our hearts

Ornate stains

Flowing into our minds

Wide awake

In the flashing lightning

In the pouring rain

As our senses fade we feel desire to catch fire

Call the storms

To gather

Mind from matter

Let the fire

Split the atoms

Reassemble

Ignite us

Unite us

O fork of electric demise

Autumn’s grey

Floods the skies

Colours fading from your eyes

Fertile clouds

Drifting in

Waste no time

Lightning strikes

Crashing into our hearts

Souls ablaze

Thunder shaking our minds

Wide awake

In the flashing lightning

In the pouring rain

As my body bums I feel alive one last time
