Crystal Ships

[ndn8tive1 (deleted)]

In one of my dreams was an image so clear
Of infinite crystal ships leaving countless empty piers
These tall ships of glass were all headed out to sea
On one deck was a mysterious figure, looking back at me
The words that it spoke was a whisper too weak
I tried hard to listen yet no louder it would speak
I reached out my hand, but it was no longer there
Like a vapor of mist, it had simply disappeared
As this endless fleet of ships, slowly drifted on by
Like shimmering diamonds, reflecting against the sky
A myriad of glistening ships in a massive funeral pass
A very impressive fleet of brilliant crystal glass
Aboard each of these ships were countless Crystal carts
Each carrying shattered pieces of some ones broken heart
The crystal carts reflected lights of brilliant crimson red
From the millions of broken hearts that believed love was dead
These Crystal ships carried broken memories, turned into glass
The shattered essence of figures from deep within our past
Lingering memories that we sometimes find so hard to erase
But if we really could, would we not leave a trace?
