Zedd- Clarity (Cover)

We climb peaks and dive in sunken valleys craving connections from familiar faces. This free verse poem is inpired by you.

Us, jocund entities dance in circles,
Beneath the trees,
Fluttering,
Dancing in the breeze,
The shaman,
The doctor,
The raconteur,
The artist,
The chanteuse,
All twisted in a painful knot,
Clinging together in fierce desire.
To leave it all behind?
To...to hold it all closely together?
As our bodies beat to the rhythm of the house,
We disappear in time travel.
The raconteur gazed and gazed,
And saw thousands at a glance,
Deconstructing all these stories
buried within their souls.
As she carries the house full of familiar desires,
the doctors find structure in the anatomy of it all,
the artist becomes the living flower of life,
and the chanteuse?
She sings through the colours of her wind.
Some have gone home,
Some have found new homes.
And some were stuck in this 
silver lining
waiting
for a drug
to save our lives.
Little by little,
as we find fractional release,
the shaman stitches our torn hearts together.
For we are cured in our alternate realities,
For now, he says.
(?)How do I explain it to him that we've once met above the skies,
How do I teach her to worship to earth on which she walks on knowing that it will rip everything right from underneath her,
How do I wring the clouds tears from her dress,
How do I tell them that both ends of the rainbow is just the beginning of dark times,
And, how do I tell him that we may never catch the shooting star together?
I can, though,
Tell you that there is happiness at the peak of sadness,
I can tell you the future,
But I shan't spoil the surprise,
Till we meet God again.
