"Silent Lucidity" - Queensryche
Early this morning a good friend of mine shared a sad story. It started with a picture of a couple. On the left was a petite and slender woman with long, white hair that glistened with her smile. Her soft, sky-blue knitted sweater gave off a subtle glow, bringing out a kindness in her eyes I knew reflected who she was even though I never had the pleasure of meeting her. She looked happy and sad at the same time. Happy that the man by her side held her tightly; a good man whose protective embrace carefully watched over her to ensure she stood just as tall and strong as he did. A jolly man who for a glimpse you would mistaken for Santa because he looked so fulfilled.
It only took a few minutes to see passed her face because the sadness came from the frail state of her stance. The pink hues within her pupils and traced alongside the stretched lines of her skin suggested she cried a lot for a lot of reasons, but I didn't know as to what. Only that it hurt way too much. It was as if she was holding on to let go; like she needed something more tangible than time so she held onto his strength because it was something she knew in her heart wouldn't run out. The genuine faith in their love was so powerful strangers such as myself, felt it simply by looking at this snapshot.
The date stamped on the bottom right-hand corner was "May 2012."
Her caption below read, "I died about 25 minutes ago..."
The one that followed was from him, "Today I lost the love of my life..."
It wasn't until then that I realized it wasn't him that was holding her up. It was her holding him. Although without her, his ability to stand will be shakened, I doubt he will let himself fall. Life may be limited, but love for the few who have found it will remain timeless and kept safe just like this picture of a happy couple.
Lyrics:
Hush now, don't you cry
Wipe away the teardrop from your eye
You're lying safe in bed
It was all a bad dream
Spinning in your head
Your mind tricked you to feel the pain
Of someone close to you leaving the game of life
So here it is, another chance
Wide awake you face the day
Your dream is over... or has it just begun?
There's a place I like to hide
A doorway that I run through in the night
Relax child, you were there
But only didn't realize and you were scared
It's a place where you will learn
To face your fears, retrace the years
And ride the whims of your mind
Commanding in another world
Suddenly you hear and see
This magic new dimension
I- will be watching over you
I- am gonna help you see it through
I- will protect you in the night
I- am smiling next to you, in Silent Lucidity
(Visualize your dream)
(Record it in the present tense)
(Put it into a permanent form)
(If you persist in your efforts)
(You can achieve dream control)
(Dream control)
(How are we feeling today, better??)
(Dream control, dream control)
(Help me)
If you open your mind for me
You won't rely on open eyes to see
The walls you built within
Come tumbling down, and a new world will begin
Living twice at once you learn
You're safe from pain in the dream domain
A soul set free to fly
A round trip journey in your head
Master of illusion, can you realize
Your dream's alive, you can be the guide but...
I- will be watching over you
I- am gonna help to see it through
I- will protect you in the night
I- am smiling next to you....
