To Get There

If I draw back the white billowing curtains
To let inside the darkness and the light
And all which was set aside and once cast in shadow
Is in full view as your eyes take in the sight

Before you opened your eyes you could never see
The rolling fields and endless plains
Which ride side by side into the sun
On horses free, and owned by none
With wild laughter and yet
They must one day succumb.

Now you can see that there is night
And clouds roll over the stars as they lazily
Slowly but surely with passion yet lonely
Make sure that one by one the stars
Are vanishing
But still waiting for their return, they yearn
For a time when you shall want them crazily
But you always looked from above,
Down below, upon everything you thought
Would heal with no scars.

But for something to hurt it cannot be forgot
Something which ties love and hate into such a tight not
That we forget which hearts are ours
Ands which we should have relinquished
And banished into the past

And even in the easy flowing gutters when
Speech and thought and all things which
You think are beneath you are out of reach
As you say you can't swim in waters
Less stained than the hearts
Which you crushed with your selfish slaughter
Yes you may now float on your prize
A river of blood
Leading to the skies
