Oh, convivial arboretum Hide me ‘neath an ocean of lilies Obscure from hateful eyes my existence Encase me in a bed of petals, magenta and heliotrope Oh, gentlest blossoms, welcome me as your own Homeward, toward the elder flowers I leap Purest amaranth, how long I have waited to greet you How long, to fly beside the morning dew Among the petrichor, I’ll reside With dryads, I’ll dine Forgetting the pain and the lies Finally at peace, ‘neath a solitary pine Kindest oaken elder, mend my shattered soul Spirits of the Arbor, bless me with fruits of the earth Aromas dance around me, an olfactory performance Berries greet me with sweetness; bid me farewell with a zesty tang Forgetting the pain and the lies Finally at peace, ‘neath a solitary pine

Too long have my wings been broken For centuries my flight has been stolen The path to freedom hidden My journey home forbidden To my brothers beyond the clouds I promise we’ll return to days of yore Reunited in a lily-white sky A floating heavenly castle They will tether us to cursed ground no more We shall not suckle on their poisoned milk Save our children from their greedy whips In an untouchable skyborne city To fly through frostbitten winds To become one with my kin To live among snow and rain To be free from Earth’s pain
3.
Born from sacred empyrean rays Blessed by a springtime deluge Under starlight, amaranthine A violet gem, in silent beauty A drop of dew at dawn, a springtime blossom Sunlight singing in harmony, with the waterfall’s cadence A choir of splendour, perfect unity A threnody for the departed petals The furtive decay hath come this night Under starlight, a lonely floral soldier stands tall But the abyss-song calls long and sweet Under moonlight, a cool wind steals away the last arboreal breath Recall not bowed, resigned faces Nor browned stems and withered anther Forget not the scent of joy And the inspiring amethyst buds within Amaranth in title only, alas Wither, sweetest calyx At dawn, your sisters shall weep And noiselessly croon your lilac legacy
4.
I float in a purple sky On lucid wings, I soar I carry their hope Toward the distant mountaintop An impossibly beautiful world Ecstatic bliss and triumph Stars illuminate my path As I drift in perfect peace An unparalleled sensation These colours not meant for human eyes Nor these wings to grow Alas, I glide toward home On brave wings, I fly With courage, to our friend, the mountain A graceful descent and thus we are home I, saviour, enlightened nirvana-bringer To the skies, I gaze As he morphs to a tender yellow A colour of warmth Yet paradise I must farewell
5.
I stand alone I gaze toward the endless forests Wind batters my face Oblivious, I remain I found this place Where the flowers still bloom Where the breeze still sings Where the birds still soar Where the rain still weeps Where the trees still cry

Rain 04:03
Rain Howling flood Frostbitten torrent Mourning deluge Fruit for the soil Tears of the heavens Cloak for the trees Mask for a despairing face Brother of thunder You bring the storm I wish to fly among clouds In blissful solitude To dwell in a downpour And deliver petrichor To save forgotten fields And bless lonely petals

And so the blackness begins I shall not see the light again In a lover’s embrace, I devote myself to the abyss The endless pit that welcomes me home Oh... And I wave a wistful farewell to the stars The stars, my only companions on this dead earth Betrayed with life, and thus I exact revenge And so the light ends. Oh... And so the light ends. And so the light ends. And so the light ends.
