the world within

there's a world within that
oh so often
falls out of step with the world without
although they do come to walk together at times
about a nowhereland

this is me today
standing all alone in this wasteland
wondering about the wonders experienced
wandering about the backstreets of a lost land

there's a sweet sadness
in goodbye
there's a ray of light somwhere
out of my blind sight

I look for it
but oh
this world within
has its sky covered
with dead stars
