Suspended Animation

Waves of warmth crash around me just like the womb
 And I feel the pulse of each moment passing
 More than I've ever known
 I grasped with everything I had like I wanted this
 More than the air that'd left my lung as the cold hit
 Each lucid moment as it were my own
 Each nerve and ending to bathe in the afterglow
 In a dream I heard your voice clear as the day
 And as I close my eye life is born again
 Illusions colors wash away
 Like autumn gold to winter grey
 I saw your face as the weather shifted
 Fading in and out of suspended animation
 I arrived at the place where no lights shine at all
 And I'm reminded nothing is real here
 In this parallel
 I lie under spinning stars
 Beneath the weight of these abstraction
 Exhausted more in each lingering second
 Lost in cyclical patterns
 These repetitious scene induce unrealistic expectation of a
 Night more vicious than the dawn
 More vicious than waking life
 Within this trance you're with me
 But this vision won't last for ever
 And I'll wake once again
 As sunlight breaches the morning haze
 To retrace my steps
 Through a darkness so luminous
 Lit by only your passing flame
 Eye open
 Is it the future you fear or what you've become nothing
 The weight of this reality is no longer your to bear
 So move forward nothing is real here
