Still
To you who knows
The keys are on the mantle
Shut away in a kingdom of stars
The sky undulates with thunder
Brimming with a sea from antiquity
The same deceptive reason
The moon keeps me company
In the saddest ether
Unspoken words go bellowing
Into the land of dreaming
Where I tumble towards ecstasy
Ignorance has purpose
When inclined to hinder pain
Still when the forceful longing
Takes me toward the sky
I marvel in the wonder
I still have tears to cry.
