Atlantis

A dream is so near, yet so far away....

 

 

You’re out there now

So far away

Still, in my thoughts I see…

Peculiar thoughts of how it was,

And what could never be.

So close

So far

It’s like a dream

Or ship lost out at sea

 

Golden

Emerald

Beauty trapped

Longing to be free

 

 

 

Though more then an illusive thrill

Not less then this, my goal…

Like shafts of light into the dark

You echo through my soul

 

 

 

 

 

 

The mysteries of the atmosphere

How real are they to me?

Like thoughts of beauty, hope, and love

These depths, my destiny

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Disappearing

Dissipating

Slowly fades away

 

Where are you going?

Who can know,

Through dark of night and day?

 

Dark and dreary

Pallid grey

Escape to starry place

 

A long lost distant water land

Like worlds hidden in space

 

 

 

 

 

 

Floating

Leading

Blindly trust

Is this how it must be?

 

To find perfection, chained and lost

Held captive to the sea?

 

 

 

 

 

Though chaos floods

my thoughts so dark

And life is filled with fear

 

I wish to see you

Though afar

I’ve felt you close -so near

 

 

Unknown

Unfound

Just out of grasp

It’s slipped away before

 

I search so hard

For break of light

To see that distant shore

 

You’ve searched the earth

I’ve chased the light

We’ve been through stormy sea

 

When we have found it,

would we know?

This deep lost mystery…

A beautifully bittersweet piece of writing... to be on the verge of a dream that falls short is tough... a great write.
