Read Time:48 Second
There is a fleet of thought journeying through your mind,
a convoy of suppressed memories,
graves of dead words crack themselves up to give you a glimpse of heaven.
Heaven resides in dead things too.
There is a passing carriage,
strong things too wither.
Time is a seer; a prophecy
of ashes clogged in beauty.
This is a carriage of: a connoisseur, a psychic and a naïve nomad.
It is a convoy of the known and unknown,
wanderers seeking home
for messages etched on their soul.
You are also in this,
a fleet of thought passing through the path of time
