Fade to Peace

Your comments in my films are always uplifting and inspirational to me. As you know, I answer you and have conversations with you in my head, but it's very difficult for me to get the conversations where you can see them.

 

Recently I asked for opinions on whether it might be okay if I write my own songs instead of using other people's music, and your encouragement inspired me to return to my roots which is poetry. For the foreseeable future I plan to begin with a poem I write which I will then turn into lyrics (which I write) and then add music to use for my films.

 

The following is a transcription of the poem/lyrics I wrote for the above film. Thank you so much for your visits and kindness!

 

Sight fades to black

A day at a time

Never to return

Sound fades away

A ringing hum

Silence on the way

 

Waves drift slowly

In the endless sea

Jumping turns to crawl

Unseen and small

But always there

Inevitable fall

 

Friends go distant

Buried or gone

Other side of a call

That never comes

To survive is to die

Slowly and alone

Heaven’s a peace

To your own hell known

 

Hell is wishing

For the past once bright

No life to find

In the endless night

Walking shadows

Memories fade

Lost in the echoes

Of yesterday's shade

 

Time slips away

In whispers and sighs

Lonely echoes

In the silent night

 

Friends go distant

Buried or gone

Other side of a call

That never comes

To survive is to die

Slowly and alone

Heaven is peace

With your own hell
