Opium Dream
A shooting star in the sky
the silence within a cry
Ocean's tide that ebbs and flows
a fear that forever grows
blessed curse or deathly hallow
i am the pill you can't swallow
the cure for your disease..
last wish of the deceased
flowing sand in hour-glass
changing shapes that dont last
a fading memory of your past
the burning fire in a cold wind
or hardened walls of a kiln
i am the lending hand
i am the victim's plea
the end to your plague
the cage that sets you free
a believer's unremitting faith
or a madman's opium dream
the right of wrong, the left of right
or somewhere in between..
