Keep The Faith

  

Within these windowless walls

Are blind thoughts in the corners of the mind,

Revelation stimulations…

Killing everything I've known to be true.

Turning every colorful photo in the album

Into charcoal memories

Blowing in the wind

Scattering burnt remains

Upon the flowers and trees

Giving the illusion of an eclipse.

 

This is when reaching deep inside

To the miracles that lies

Within thy own soul are needed.

For only the magic of your reflection

Can reveal the illusions created

From the disease

Of jealous minds

Leading to ones death

Though you still roam the earth.

 

So with slight of hand

Say a prayer.

In the blink of an eye

See the light.

 

Keep the faith

And you will not bleed in vain.

Very deep.. dark but ending with a positive note to keep faith.. this is very important in life..

So with slight of hand
Say a prayer.
In the blink of an eye
See the light.

This could be interpreted many ways.. metamorphically speaking it's utter sorrow.. waiting for something.. like the end of darkness.. I could be taking it wrong though.. I believe many struggle with light and darkness.. can only hope they find their way to that light .. thank you for sharing!!! =)

great lines. Jealousy is a disease and i love the last line showing it can kill who we are and leave us aimlessly roaming without a purpose. A wise message well written.

This is deep.....from ashes to hope. From despair to prayer. Great message!
