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
