Listening

The hallowed lands so far behind
As fleeting dreams still linger
Like distant voices through the rain
Like grains of sand cast from my hands

I never thought I'd go this far
Without a star to cross the seas
So far from shores I'd left behind
Still far from shores I've yet to reach

I try to find the strength I need
To calm the doubts in my belief
With the will, I know my heart won't break

And if I have strength, then I've belief
If I have love, my heart still beats
Here under stars
Far from home

The picture fades, the light recedes
The sound is lost in whispers
My recollections once clear and pure
Now distant lights that dim with time

I never thought I'd go this far
Without a star to cross the seas
So far from shores I'd left behind
Still far from shores I've yet to reach

-Ronan Harris

Just been chatting to a few friends today on Skype after meeting Julian, and felt the need to grab some music from the server at home, so been downloading some VNV. It's funny how VNV Nation always manage to capture my mood and sentiments exactly. Ronan Harris is a truly beautiful poet. If anyone reading this hasn't heard them or of them, check out http://vnvnation.com/ They are probably my favourite band of the moment because of their ability to capture the innermost sentiments of the soul.
