Words Only Wind Can Speak

Fathom a realm beyond mortal ken Eyes not wide enough to drink it in I bid, because I've been there before, Torn between where I am and where I was Free from this cursed suffering And the anguish this world pours upon me At last this was the one time I thought: I am truly home I've seen colors unbeknownst to human eyes Verdant plains dulling everything past seen I've heard words that only wind can speak Lamenting hymns that nature sang to me This memory is etched within my mind Now and eternally Forget all the trappings of the world That choke me with my sorrows Loose me from my lesser self And take everything else Gaze plagued by ash I will never walk there Gaze plagued by ash I will never walk there again My eyes closed, all life in gray The earth springs cold, brown in decay I've lost the words that only wind can speak I am deaf to what nature shrieks at me Those memories dwell deep within my soul For then, for now, and forever
