Nightsong

Come and gone within a flash Born from a distant star's dust As its glow is bleeding through my veins Cold and dark threaten from sudden breeze Self-contained Happiness remains Trained in the art of seeing oneself in the mirror Until awakened thoughts peel it away Bringing imbalance to the shield around your heart Washed over and carried away on a wave Through a stormy and restless sea of daggers As the roar of the waves stifle my pained screams Another sees the beauty in the silver from the shore Slipped through the cracks once again Forever evading me Chasing substance every day Too much is not nearly enough One more light One more minute Take it all in before it will never have been Disintegrate into the sand Scattered away by wind, never to be retrieved Step forward into the storm Of the fragilities inside This presence that was once permanent Has shattered, eternally absent Please don't leave me in the cold I don't intend to let go Here we are my dearest friend At the place we only dreamed of long ago There's a mirror on the ceiling Reflecting myself as I was back then Content, I lay down for my final rest As a song of peace fills the night air The mystery still remains Never to be solved, but to be experienced Forever a traveler Returning to stardust
