Arrows pointing like signs
Deep within the mind
Dividing space and time
As Mona Lisa peers out
From just behind the Looking Glass
Where the last vestiges
Of chiarscuro are fading
Into the final landscape of thoughts
Sending ripples across the shallow sea
Of dreams floating quietly
As raindrops begin falling
And lightning reflects
Off of Paynes Grey clouds
Where visions of gridlock appear
Like a pyramid in the mist
Confiscating everything that is near
While Blind Justice is reduced to tears
And Billy the Kid looks for answers
Hidden like fossils revealed
Waiting for explainations
For the unexpainable
In a never ending circle
An end and a beginning
Repetition and rebirth
Risk and redemption
Words rolling off lips
Quietly speaking without talking
Lines of communication sometimes drifting
Rectangles floating
One quite peculiar
Young lovers suspended in time
A passionate embrace forvever
Etched in the mind
As memories become relizations
Recalling interrupted conversations
