Proceed without caution

by Matthias L. - Capricorn

Calling out
Into nowhere
Crying for help
But not showing

Sending a message
And then even more
Maybe to the heavens
Maybe to hell
And both just as well
Deny a reply 

Words for a lie
Silence disguised
No words for what's real
Silence replies

Listening to this flame
Elemental destiny
Turning to green
Someone claims
To know it all

Not even clearly visible
To one who knows 
A little more than naught
And then as well intangible
To one who holds
On to a vain and wasted oath

Always unsure
If anyone's near her
Opening vaults
If anyone hears her

Not taking care
To mend what's undone
Not making dare
To catch up and run

Dreaming out 
Into nowhere
Through broken glasses
A blurred fragility

What does it mean
To the one who does suffer
And to those who pretend
To see through the schemes

Gathering no moss
But still falling quickly
Time does strip
What time reveals

When nothing more
In emptiness
Turns into even less
A piece of art
Invaluable

Don't wait for me now
I'd like to be there for you
But it's only a vow
That reality deprives of its truth

With only light baggage
But also some tears
Too heavy to fall
This journey might quickly
Proceed
Without
Caution
