2. “Reconciling Dreams”

but clocks swept in to steal away the day

virtuous pages by the clouds, they cried in pain

i heard his voice calling to me

from comfort’s chains, i was set free

there’s no reason, yet i find

love will seek out those blind

despite our birth into all things black

keeps karma’s aim against its back

hoping there may yet be

constant light to let me see

cold truths of broken spirits to be led

that spin these scattered dreams into a web

but i’m drunk off believing that i can make it through

all the world pulls my heart and soul in two

what gains do i fight to preserve?

what love must be without reserve?

there’s no reason, yet i find

love will seek out those blind

despite our birth into all things black

keeps karma’s aim against its back

hoping there may yet be

constant light to let me see

cold truths of broken spirits to be led

that spin these darkened dreams into a web
