A life entails
Many a journey
Many, many trips
Lots are boring
Some are quite fun
Others painful
One will end it.
Better take care
Care of your steps
How to sequel
Journeys can melt
Can be aligned
Can add up to
Loosen a rock.
Fun, where the sun
Walking upwards
Wander, are lost
In happiness
Don’t you look down
Else you shall see
More than you will.
Do not climb down
Do not stir up
Do not dare touch
What you cannot
What you can’t grasp
When you’re driving
Beware the depth.
Once you embark
Frosty mission
Once you’re rolling
Deep dive, head down
When that boot strap
Keeping you down
You see no more.
When the colour
Faded away
When this whole world
And all sorrows
Matter no more
You found the dark
The vacuum.
Floating away
Under water
Going nowhere
Aiming nowhere
In the current
Washed neverwhere
With no way out.
I had my trip
To neverland
I had my piece
Of the current
When I washed up
Was no longer
As I had been.
Once you have been
Once you have seen
The ocean grey
From underneath
You know, must go
Reach the surface
Swim upwards, now.
She who has been
In that dry hell
The vacuum
That sterile hell
Knows of the need
Imperative
Don’t stop, ever.
He who was touched
By this madness
Is driven by
Not a clear goal
By the need to
Never go back
The need to live.
How can you know
Know how to live
If you have not
Have never been
Dying, dying
A painless death
Of no meaning.
She who has seen
A cold bottom
Can truly see
The mountains, high
The green of grass
The blue of skies
She sees it true.
To see past pain
As a dark gift
Takes distance, more
Once you do know
Know the power
Of having left
You see its might.
Leave the dark place
Come back to light
Once you’re back
Know to cherish
Ordinary
Know to enjoy
Know how to strive.
Long tale dense core
Wish for noone
To dive so deep
Once you are marked
Use all you have
Strength in scars
Reach for the stars.
