The Crystal Myth

By Laura Dee Battle
January 3, 2015

Match these lights to forgotten memories
Make the sea so carefully calm and hum along 
The silence makes me itch away the misery
Be still, my dear, and speak the words you know are wrong 

Don't think too much about the truth 
It's been refracted in your looking glass 
Can't you feel the deceiving voices from our youth?
Pass the trees and merrily decay the lessons you learned in class

School can't give you ways to finally be free 
Under duress I stress your shining rebel soul 
Make it loud enough to drown out your crystal clarity
Sleep tonight my dear, so we can find the morning light it stole 

Come hide away with me in dreams you cannot see 
But I can take you there where people never stare
In the place where we filter out the rapture of our memories 
Survive the moment and live a single day free of despair 

Tonight, tonight...
