Once more
I find myself losing sight of the shore
In the midst of mist, the blur pertains
Playing with my sanity, creating riddles and forming mind stains
The solemn silence fills the air entirely
All that surrounds me is nothingness and infinity

Once more
I find myself losing sight of the shore
My fleet beneath me, floating on the lake
The moment feels serendipitous, as though the world is repeating the same happy mistake
The solemn silence fills the air entirely
All that surrounds me is nothingness and infinity

Once more
I find myself losing sight of the shore
Peering into my memories for a strategy to find my way back home
I marvel at this lake of solitude, the beauty of being alone
The solemn silence fills the air entirely
All that surrounds me is nothingness and infinity

Once more I find myself losing sight of the shore
Embraced the mystery, entranced by life’s enigma I remain seated
My evils have drowned in the waters, foolish fears have been defeated
The solemn silence fills the air entirely
All I am is nothingness and infinity
