Engulfed

Satin shadow
These eyes couldn’t capture
Forgetting myself
As the days are running faster
Connecting the edge
Of a life to another
Sending the echoes
Of an essence rediscovered
Calling out again
To the silence of the deep wood
Looking at the world with a new light
Following the fallen leaves
That drift along the water
I can hardly recognize
What I am on the inside
You could stay but I don’t care
Enough for anything in this life
These days I’m unaware of what
Is really deep inside
Faded, fallen
I’m engulfed in emotion
Your careless calling
Is alive with devotion
The sudden silence
Deviates from the steady sound
I’m flooded with defiance
As the echo races all around
Coming to the edge of the forest
In the deep wood
Looking at the world with a new light
Following the voices
That are drifting through the water
I can hardly recognize
What I am on the inside
