Dragged Down By Sorrow

Dragged down by sorrow of the silent door, 
I call name of the soul I love the most 
who gives me apple of the lonely sun 
then disappears in shadow of the road 
in search for valley of the walking wall 
where flowers dance in sparkle of the rain. 

Dragged down by sorrow of the weeping bell, 
I search in gravel of the forlorn road 
for secret treasure of the singing tree 
who waits forever on the river shore 
for weary traveler with the morose book 
from too far away on the dreary plain. 

Dragged down by sorrow of the ringing rain, 
I hide in cavern of the faceless ghost 
uncomforted by light of the blind moon 
that shimmers hazy shape of our frail bones 
though we build shelter from lost memories 
which swirl away as smoke in gusting wind. 

Dragged down by sorrow of the laughing skull, 
I kneel in temple of the weeping bride 
with gift of my broken heart in my hands 
when I pray to deathless mother of time 
who molds our bodies from waves of the sea 
and teaches us how to sing words of truth. 

Dragged down by sorrow of the mocking clock, 
I walk treed avenues of playful rain 
to find the secret voice of mortal minds 
that radiates bright from void of silent hope 
because we struggle against fear of death 
which will erase us all from dream of time. 

Dragged down by sorrow of the gentle wolf, 
I run forever through the maze of myths 
with book I stole to calculate the way 
isolation completes stillness of faith 
when I sense sudden storm of pungent rain 
that shapes my thoughts with energy of love. 

Dragged down by sorrow of the angry owl, 
I steal new wings from Icarus so I 
can fly above this ever-changing world 
to find the changeless paradise of Heaven 
in Realm of Ideas where I create 
virtual world from concept of mutual love. 

Dragged down by sorrow of the smiling ghost, 
I visit mother of humanity 
who lounges in round temple of the snake 
where Apollo prophesies with blood runes 
reincarnation of the cosmic herald 
when keepers of the sword and grail unite.
