Wake My Light

Michael Walters

Wake My Light

take your truth and bury it so it grows tomorrow
there’s a space thats filling with words like i miss you
now I continue to fall and rise but with passion and pain
and your dragging the pity into the distant sun to return

oh and you returned somehow

I’m just watching you change direction
and all those words are so infectious
you’re just losing those weights
they try to disguise what they really are

there’s a thought that conspires with your past
but you don’t wallow in empty rooms these days
and you’re not confused by the presence of pure words
holding on became an empire of unsent letters

oh you returned somehow

I’m just watching you change direction
and all those words are so infectious
you’re just losing those weights
they try to disguise what they really are

    Absolutely breathtaking colours & motion captured only the way you can. So many elements working in harmony here…amazing rock formations in the foreground leading into the milky water and toward the land and sky which is so perfectly mirrored in the water. Coupled with profound and poignant words, this is a combination-piece that showcases your talents perfectly :)
