The fountain of life

Don't break that spangled cobweb of stars
In this tangled messed up world
Where sleeping ceases

What does the blind man see when you tell him of the sky?
Whirling rose-petals and the world is covered in flowers

Listen
Can you hear the silent weeping of my heart?

But the still moment by the lake
Immortal touching immortal
Perfection in it's terrible glory
Stops the heart
Freezes the mind
And the clock ticks on

The single spotlight
Stagefright?
Don't worry my darling
I'm here beside you
Although you think you're alone

The fountain of life continues to congest my system
I know I'm dying, what about you?

Silver skin
Silver eyes that glint like fishes
Crying for the world not just me
Crying for that little world inside your head

Can you see me yet?
I'm hiding in the brambles

Sun blinding me
And yet I stumble on

Slowly

Time stops
