Story That Never Ends

Whispers rise from painted skies

Shapes unravel, colors collide

My body fades, my soul ascends

Into a story that never ends

Veins alive with serpents singing

Eyes ignite with visions spinning

Through realms of dust and breathing stone

I chase a beast I've always known

Riding waves of fractured time

The dragon dances just beyond the line

Its silver scales like a shattered lens

Calling from a story that never ends

Forest bloom with pulses beating

Stars combust to greet my seeking

It turns its gaze, the ageless friend

But every step I can't transcend

Spirals deepen, roots unbind

Breath dissolves in cosmic twine

Echoes scream from the lives I've lived

The dragon flies yet never gives

Heavily syncopated, they reach

But for the lessons he might teach

With every breath, the shadow bends

In the story that never ends

Still I soar, though I descend

Forever caught in the story

The story that never ends
