Cosmic Dance (F)

Now dream: the residual dream. The blissful awakening. Self-renewal.
Starlight sway, you’re making me float above the water. A cosmic dance of light displayed over the waves. Drifting inward, collaborating abstract static gluing me back together.
I am.
I am the particles within the dream, the visible when none is seen. I am the shiver down the spine, the excitement incarnate.
Evaporate. Accumulate into a solid state. Be seen once more.
Be seen once more. Revival of the senses. Reactivation of the limbs. Delusions of grandeur is non existent here.
From rest comes dreams, so shall ye sleep.
From death comes life, so shall ye breathe.
The stars above, a light to see.
A cosmic dance, begun with seed.

Redistribute vitality.
Revitalization.
To wander aimlessly across a new plane of existence.
To wonder what it is to live, to die, to experience.
A harsher risk made to challenge the soul.
Death: an illusion from this dimension, or is it just an egotistical seize? To wander now with purpose in an infinite structure. One final question will continue to remain: what is our purpose?
Seven Rooms. Seven Doors. You are the source.
Atria, my beloved, breathe life into me.
The taste of iron has never seemed so sweet. The water now flows through this dry, desert heat. Ventricles to veins - remove the vapid plains. Of substance, of scenery, of dreams.

Astral Waves (F)

Like a feather from the crow, to take flight we must be connected. Learn their grace. The thread that binds you may also guide you to mortal bliss. To exist is to play the game. To resist is to tear the feather from the wing.
Blood soaked misery is not your fortune. Fortunate enough to experience this plane. If you never cast a shadow you’ll never see the light of day.
Follow the thread that weaves you between realities. Ochre and red paints the sunset between the trees. Follow the thread and watch the canvas come to life. Ochre and red: the colors used to sculpt the sky.
Though the hues may bleed away, I’ll take in the new spectrum my eyes perceive. The astral waves crash over me. As the crow takes flight, he glides through the chromatic sea.
Sway with the wind; swing without resistance. You’ll be shown the way. Sway with the wind; nirvana in the vision. Beauty on display.
Caress the clouds. Kiss the sea. The gentle, majestic breeze. Beyond the horizon the sun casts its final warmth before it falls asleep.
See me as I am - the encapsulation of the elementals. All that surrounds me is of infinity.

The Dreamstride (F)

Drift into the dreamstride. Peer into the well of life. Like water, we flow past the mistakes we’ve made and mold ourselves back into existence.
Exploring veins laying beneath the soil, pushing up to the lungs. Pass it to the branches, study the leaves. We are one.
Your heart. You’re all I need to grow.
Your soul. You’re all I need to grow.
Your heart. Your soul. You’re all I need to grow.
Drift into the dreamstride. Peer into the well of life.

Eyes of gold, shimmer for me. Contrasting the deepest blues, reveal the truth. Emerge from the sea. Eyes of gold, glisten for me. Look inside and you will find the power you keep.
Now emerge the true heir to this kingdom. Lights converge: a force that’s hidden within. Now rise to your throne.
Conduct the seas. Reshape the clouds. Carry these leaves to solid ground.
This is the power you wield. This is the truth you seek. Majestic are the fields of gold. Reveal your eyes to me.
These eyes have known virtue, pain, resilience, acceptance. I’ve held fear and tossed it to the deepest crevices of every ocean. I’ve walked among the wicked and I’ve chosen a different path. And that’s why I know that every single burden that you bear will soon carry you as you carried them.
Carry me home. Carry me.
Eyes of gold, shimmer for me. Contrasting the deepest blues, reveal the truth. Emerge from the sea. Eyes of gold, glisten for me. Look inside and you will find the power you keep.

Wilted spine in flourishing grove
The water spills to help you grow
Little does the forest know
You give away the blessed flow
Dividing all necessity
To help reanimate the weak
Little does the forest see
You give away your energy
No longer reaching to the sky
Drifting low, alone, and dry
Beneath the soil you shall reside
To decompose and birth new life
Lands of green and skies of blue
You gave it all to help it bloom
And so the forest never knew
You were the reason that it grew

An energy renewed. The stars still line the skies we left behind when we first bloomed.
The stardust: like pollen we fall from the petals reaching for the ground below to a world we both know.
I think you had lost your sight on the climb up remembering what it means to see. I'll see you again.
I'll see you again where souls collide, where time resides.
I'll see you in your dreams. I'll see you in the stars. I'll feel you in the breeze. I'll find you in the dark. I'll let you light the way. I'll learn to let you guide. I'll see you in the colors in the patterns in the sky.
I'll see you again.

An energy renewed. The stars still line the skies we left behind when we first bloomed.
The stardust: like pollen we fall from the petals reaching for the ground below to a world we now know.
I'm sure you had lost your breath on the way down: remembering what it is to breathe.
I'll see you again where souls collide, where time resides.
I'll see you in your dreams. I'll see you in the stars. I'll see you in the breeze. I'll find you in the dark. I'll learn to light the way. I'll learn to be your guide. I'll see you in the colors: the patterns in the sky.
I'll see you again.
