i am in a place where time is no matter
my soul soars in airless space
sparkles of light scatter
in the inviting darkness

i feel no fear
for i feel no danger
there’s no tear
for i have no anger
they are big diamonds in the sky
or are they twinkling eyes
of happy faces in the night?
swallow my tears for a smile

i touch my cheeks...
no, there's no tear to wipe
no sadness to hide
my smile is real and ripe
but how is it that i can fly?

a bitter cold hand of air
shakes my withering body
to answer my question

tears are still wearing down
the smoothness of my cheeks
like raindrops that erode the earth
for thousands and thousands of years...
