Veins of Sand

I walk the desert of my mind Veins of sand, no path to find Every grain, a story lost Whispered secrets, haunting cost A mirror in the sky, it bends The truth is where the silence ends Do I exist, or just pretend An endless loop I can’t transcend Cut the ties, let me fall Through the void, I feel it all I am the wind, I am the flame A fleeting ghost without a name A temple built on shifting ground My shadow dances without sound The sun sets low, it burns my skin The cracks reveal what lies within A labyrinth of gold and dust Each step is bound by fear and trust The silence speaks, the echoes stay I’m chasing ghosts that fade away Cut the ties, let me fall Through the void, I feel it all I am the wind, I am the flame A fleeting ghost without a name I am the echo of a distant prayer A fleeting whisper in the heavy air Breathe me in, I’ll fill your lungs But hold too tight, and I’ll come undone Cut the ties, let me fall Through the void, I feel it all I am the wind, I am the flame A fleeting ghost without a name Veins of sand, they slip away The desert calls, I cannot stay In the emptiness, I am whole A silent storm, a fractured soul
