To close your eyes and let your mind travel
is such a treat
Death is quietly sneaking into my life
Another skull from the past is coming alive
An honorable soul from ancient Mexico,
is standing in his field of color swaying with the wind
Feel the sun burning into his skin
A fracture in the cosmos separates these unlike realities
What realm of veracity has such vacant eyes discovered
Dead eyes are everywhere
An ancient war bird is exploding
His remains are falling back to earth
Even for a majestic bird the air is only temporary freedom
Death will overtake us all
Have you ever felt fear in your blood?
Real fear?
Your jaw will lock, your voice will freeze, and your heart will
momentarily skip a beat
Oh my what a mental rush
Everything scares me
Heads are spinning as little bubbles float from my brain,
stealing away my memories
The sun-withered face of an ancient tribesman from the past,
looks out over the horizon
Duel skulls are rising from the earth
Hovering over are mirror images of the guardians of the light
Death walks into your life like a stranger from another era
I have felt death take a grip on my soul and mind
The pain has touched my flesh I am haunted
Yet I have survived another day
