Greylotus - Azure Rain

A haunted stain cannot wash away Eyes burned into the sky Devoid of lids, an iron vice derides the blind Salt escaping broken bones as you hover over in disguise Slowly tearing through the mouths of the pure limb over limb Though the seed's broken through, time has not stilled A ghost in the mirror you shall remain Grind ineffable dreams through the mind Lay down in peace as the sun subsides An infant and veterans divide Their eyes and lives are clouded by time No matter how far nor how high The stain on the glass will remain No matter your growth or decline Warmly observed through azure rain Stripped trees carve the air leaving breaks for breath A now glasslike surface, crystalline An outlined condition doomed to expire Raindrops cascading beckoning self recognition's eye Self recognition cast matter to grey I ask of you: what is growth worth? By league or by inch, by stride or by step The over remains painted Ever distant constant, I've balanced my back “Has your balance been tried? To live without motion is to die.” Death in all forms is blackness: nothing Times grain slips through cracks fast Without any judgement Repairing the glass left unphased A haunted stain cannot wash away, self recognition cast matter to grey I've seen the light Felt nails tear in To burn through the blight I've torn off my skin
