The only country
where the people do complain
more than it does rain.

A lantern can only go so high before it must come down.
A smile can only last so long until it becomes a frown.

Happiness eventually turns to sadness.
But the opposite is true too.

A frown can only last so long till it becomes a smile.
A lantern can be reignited.
and it's only a matter of time until you see that lantern floating high in the sky.

In a night I had this slumber
And in the slumber had I a dream
Not any dream though
Not a fowl days dream gone by
A true escape from reality was passed along by I

It started with a burst of darkness
Then a pause and bitter light
Steam began to rise around me
And thus I did take flight

Away aloft about my bed and then it all was gone
I stood along a Hallway
Held up with walls and floor
In front of me is a shimmer
And behind me stands a door

And such which door that did appear
Painted brown along the curve
But the shimmer was so beautiful
I did nothing but to turn
There stood what I longed to see
It made my stomach churn.

A single glittering mirror
Around about my view
Not upon the wall but slanted on the ground
As though someone had placed it there before turning to resound.

I stepped forward and looked into
And swear I could have seen.
The one thing I longed to Face
But yet the fact that it did disgrace

A single face
A singe face
Upon the dust and rust
Not mine though
For I am still asleep in bed
So who's
The answer does fall on me
But the reason I know not

Green walls and a monotone ticking inside my heart.
The ticking keeping everything from falling apart,
Continuous monotonous ticking.
A reminder of time passing,
of life moving on, but not me.
I am frozen in this green room,
aware of it all but stuck here.
Wanting you near,
Wanting but never getting.
All I get is a sad sigh as I listen to the ticking in my heart.

No one knows why.

Why beauty always disappears in the end.

Why the tree sheds it's beautiful colors every fall.

Why every night, the sun shares it's  beautiful spotlight of the sky with the moon.

Why the flowers shrivel and die after a short period of time.

Why the music always has to come to a stop.

Why the shooting stars flash by and leave.

Why every story comes to an end.

Why the fluttering butterflies always fly away.

Why the rainbow always ends up vanishing from the sky.

The reason? No one knows.

No one knows.
