Ballad of Dreams
Crystalline snow globe above the bookshelf
Over the edge, Over the bridge crying out for help
She grieves her futile dreams in the middle of the night
Like reaching out in the murk would make it right
Flowers bloom and Rust Away
I find myself back again in Bombay
Lights shower, gush into those hollow eyes
Rocks painted in bloom, the sky above feels like Malibu
Crystalline snow globe on my desk
How can I prove myself
To the skies, to the gods, to the spirits aloft
But the snow advances to make an ice shelf
Trees have grown twenty-three
Drowning the world in a black sea
No eyes, No ears, No lips, No one
This being takes a form that knows none
Existence is a desideratum
Cravens are most, Gallant some
To brawl in life, we have nothing to lose
Than a few pennies, a vesture, and two shoes

This piece is close to my heart,
what once was can never be now
what's lost can perhaps be found
If only one looks close enough
To create their own reality
