Beyond the bridge, desolation reigns No twilight pools in hollowed plains Where countless voices freeze in time Beneath lies waters old as rhyme Where crow feathers seek their rest Moving past willows, heading west Your fresh thoughts fall on ink dark shore Should you venture deeper and explore It shifts its hues toward clarity's door Though its weeping might set you free Your footprints fade eventually When beneath the pavilion you pause Many eyes see you as their own because All share the same mortal flaws Count not words in shadow and light Hurry forth and write your flight Breaking silence with color's first bright
