Staying Still Forever

Michael Walters

Staying Still Forever

another year to start again
another lonely wish as time is bleeding away
you’re growing small in yourself
you come to know the motion of sinking so well
the tide will rise over your head
forgo the breath, you learn what keeps you down
now you’re breathing under there
you drift away from all your blinding fear

oh oh you opened your eyes
oh oh you came into sight
no more burning hands
you buried doubt away

you walk around beneath clouds
and count the days that should have been spent
the chilling air it whispers
it resonates in memories you swept aside
I want to wear that feeling now
when you’re close it echo’s throughout my soul
proliferate what’s left wanting
and self demise will drown inside past times

oh oh you opened your eyes
oh oh you came into sight
no more burning hands
you buried doubt away

    MiChAeLLll, this is one amazing image, i am dumbstruck for words and have a big pano grin at how you continue to defy all odds and produce these great images AND your song, it is so beautiful and peaceful and echoes the image so perfectly. love your imagery “now you’re breathing under there, you drift away from all your blinding fear” – just so perfect. You know, I’m really hanging to hear the music to go with this, it will make the trio complete – pic, words and music. What’s really gorgeous in this pic – is the new moon and the star, Venus perhaps? BEAUTIFUL STUFF you :-OD :))
