Reflections on windows of shattered brightness
No longer interest me as much
They melt into colorful drops of mortality and
fall splashing into the sea of memories.
attempted escape manifests in surfacing
to stay on the bottom remembering the colors..

My memories no longer belong to me
But I call onto them again and again.
I'm immersed in the past and what I see from its depths are
The people I once knew or I know now, I can't tell the difference.
Their minds and the constructs of my own
Are now together in this perfect symphony
Defying time as it washes over their sounds.
To recall the present and rejoin the waters
as they flow to some distant end.. would that be my faith
lying even deeper in these masses of mis-typed memoirs..
Here, I see it - the day I cast it out and drowned it in days past
fiercely as only the youth could. Now I need it again..
But it won't come back to me and I can't dive this deep
The pain for the things I've done in those days wouldnt let me.
And so I lay down here on the bottom. Looking up and seeing
chaotic images swirl around the eternal stars whose light
is passing unperturbed through the waters,
Who will stay in their place and see this through

This piece is quite good. I know were your coming from on this one my friend. Mad Props!
 
Thanks a lot guys! I got somewhat inspired by Max Frei's short story "Green waters of Ishmaa" on this one. A really cool story but i'm not sure if there is an english translation available...
