Poem by Elizabeth

(This is something that I wrote in Spanish, and now I've translated into English... So, if some phrases isn't well written, I apologise for that, I'm still learning!)

Winter Rain.

Hostile shadows that it moves
Going here and there
In a wailing ocean
Without finding escape.

The sun and the moon
Have no relevance
For a mournful body
Disguised of...

What's this?
What's the name given to people?
Which megalomaniac entity belong
All these words and all these things?

Traveling in a universe of nothingness
A non existent traveling
Draw the fantasy you want
And delineate your needs.

Irregular encounter
About being and nonbeing
A dream without dream
And time falling down...

Do it already
And don't look behind
Forget why
Forget the afterlife...

But winter rain remains here
Sometimes for days, sometimes for years
And finally, everything is
Much ado about nothing indeed.

♦ Stratovarius ♦

Once upon a time I was the scribe of all my dreams
I’ve seen the years turn into dust, now feel the rust in me
I’ve walked the shores of Avalon, I’ve seen the seasons change
I’ve laughed and cried, I’ve lived and died, but only on the page.

Now all I have, all I am
All I ever was is here, on the page
It’s all the same, it never mattered anyway
It’s all a lie so let it burn.

All empty words and all rhymes will fade
As the light of last candle flickers away
If the story is over, this chapter my last
Let it be my best one, let it be my own.

I hope it’s not too late to learn to live and learn to love
I yearn to fight, to turn the tide before the tender dark
For I never drew the sword from stone, there’s no Helen in my Troy
I stand alone, I stand forgotten, just gazing into the void.

Come night, test my will, test my soul
Test my faith and test my heart, torn apart
Make me strong, make me whole again and
Guide through the dark till the morning comes.
 
All empty words and all rhymes will fade
As the light of last candle flickers away
If the story is over, this chapter my last
Let it be my best one, let it be my own.

"Depends. What depends? Of depending how you look all depends."
