Smoke

Feedback Received!

The constant stream of sound
Is the only one that will find me
Red eyed and reminiscent

Only in his eyes will it be relieved
In these halls the dead walk alive
Stifled dreams and unheard screams

To know how far the sun is
Is to know that the world is without meaning

To know how long the moon has screamed
Is to know the world will be forevermore

To dream to see the sun
So close to the moon
Is the endless monotony of the human condition

As the flame laps away at the burning bush
Know that the sun and moon are forever cast from one another

Edit: Removed fourth line from second stanza, realized it kind of sounds off
