Eternity in a raindrop

(Eternite' en de pluie)

As I walk trough this crowd... Auras all around,

Some are as blue as the bottom of the Sea…

Some are as yellow as the sun above.

What does this all mean?

Eternite' en de pluie.

 

The book of laws…

The laws of probability… look at it..

Paragraph 4,

Page 20.

When I am fourty years old, I will not be able to breathe any more.

Eternite' en de pluie.

 

I live my life fighting the Sirens song of greed…

A green eyed dragon with an empty wallet.

Children starving in the streets.

Why does it all have to be?

Eternite' en de pluie.

 

I take a pause…

I sit in the sand

I dip my toes in a river of pleasure for just a brief moment.

Guilt.

Guilt from the tears that flow south to a sea of madness and ancient pain.

Eternite' en de pluie.

 

Words… Reflecting mind images floating from an abyss unknown.

Shadows cast over insanity…

The castaway poet with nothing to record his thoughts but a patch of wet sand…

To be washed away by…

Eternite' en de pluie.

 

Words live.

No doubt in my doubting mind.

It is insanity…

But I think I comprehend.

This Eternite' en de pluie.

 

Illusions. Nothing but.

I exist in this imaginary world.

I laugh…Moon-blinding visions of Eons past.

Am I?

I can. I will. I must.

But should I? Who to trust?

Divinity… Who created this power?

Division… Paranoia and segregation.

Reality…what is this?

Only Eternite' en de pluie.

 

Hypnotizing flames.

Look around you and see if you are the only one sane.

Time clouds my mind…What to believe?

Cain and able syndrome…these Civil Wars in our minds. Left side battles Right.

It is no wonder the Creator cries so much…

Crying Eternite' en de pluie... Eternity in a raindrop.
