An interesting poem, that you can read a bit slowly to take in all the vibes that are given out. Originally meant to be a slow, contemplative song.

A timeless tale

Behind lies what

In the veil

Doors are shut

Follow the trail

Open them up

Are you hearing?

A timeless tale

A step is but a step taken forward

A life is but a life taken

A standard is but a standard lowered

A thought is but a thought forsaken

Each step taken forward can retract

Each life taken is foregone

Each standard lowered can impact

Each thought forsaken is redrawn

A timeless tale

Behind lies what

In the veil

Doors are shut

Follow the trail

Open them up

Are you hearing?

A timeless tale

A drop is but a drop descended

A drop of ink is but a drop respected

A drop of water is but a drop protected

A drop of blood is but a drop rejected

Each drop descended is set

Each drop of ink respected is meant

Each drop of water protected is sweat

Each drop of blood will represent

A timeless tale

Behind lies what

In the veil

Doors are shut

Follow the trail

Open them up

Are you hearing?

A timeless tale

A tale is but a tale timeless

A message is but a message conveyed

A society is but a society mindless

An image is but an image portrayed

Each timeless tale is but a message

Each message conveyed is for one to listen

Each mindless society is but an image

Each image portrayed is for one to envision

A timeless tale

Behind lies what

In the veil

Doors are shut

Follow the trail

Open them up

Are you listening?

A timeless tale
