Misty Wonders

Song at the Bottom

You're ever so still tonight, concealed in a fog

Like a warm blanket to hide under

The mist is humid and cloaks the stars

Yet your still there somehow...and I start to wonder.

Are you watching me

As I'm watching you?

I look into your darkness 

Of gray, black, and blue

Through the dark and the hazy night

I wonder what you see

You're warm and inviting

And somehow you comfort me.

The warm, humid air tells me to sit down

The soft, gentle wind tells me to let go

I look into you and feel safe... and I start to talk

My words begin to flow

When I am finished and content

And I'm done with my confession

I look to you for an answer

But you look back with no expression

Just a calm and dark sheet of blackness

Silent and solitary, your feelings untold

I look at you again and quietly ask

"What secrets do you hold?

You, who have seen everything since nothing

Since the the world began to unfold

You, who have listened to millions of voices

What secrets do you hold?"

Yet no answer emerges from the night

And I look at you and wonder...

Why are you so silent tonight

When other times you thunder

I wonder if the thunder, are your screams of pain

And perhaps a rainbow is a sign for your glee

But tonight is confusing, with your silent blackness

And your ever still, never ending beauty

Yet at the same time, so simple you are

Nothing remarkable, simple and plain

Yet within your simpleness

You hold beauty the same

I wonder what you think and feel

About what miracles you've watched unfold...

I look to you and quietly ask

"What secrets do you hold?

With the eternal mounds of knowledge

And the wisdom you possess

Do you ever think of sharing it?

To maybe confess?

To maybe even sharing, a little bit of knowledge

Perhaps you'd be willing to give some to me?

Not too much, just a little

Do you agree?"

Yet you stay sealed in silence

And give away not a thing

You seem to be holding it all

Within your dark wing

I look at you and wonder

For that's all I can do

My mind starts racing

All about you

Like are you maybe disappointed, in the human race

You have witnessed so many wars

So many deaths and battles

It must be hard to face.

That makes me wonder 

About your strong core...

Like, do you even care

Or do you purposely ignore

Maybe your disappointed

Or sad or maybe... lonely.

It can't be that much fun

Being an "One and Only".

I look into your dark abyss

Of never ending wonder

And then I start to think

About your thoughts, of us, here under...

Forever sentenced to watching over

A never ending world

A world that you can't smell or touch

With no company except for a lonely girl

A world that disregards you

As a simple thing that is always there

A simple thing that never goes away

A thing for which no one spends a care

I wonder how you feel right now

Behind you black, dark mask

I wonder if all this knowledge

Isn't worth the task

I wonder if you rather,

Live in the world you protect

Instead of being a never ending

Thing to neglect

Your beauty is enchanting

The greatness in your fold

I wish I could only know

The wonder that you hold.
