Doubt's Great Sea

Once I roamed a child of light Through fleeting days and endless night But soon the vast could not contain So I sought a path through unknown plain Though guilt may not be yours to bear Fate will strike; it does not care Today I wander through doubt's great sea Come walk this shadowed path with me My breath expands; my eyes turn grey The waves are near—I shy away Each night my gills in silence rise Drawing breath from starlit skies In stillness deep my soul takes flight It claws through dark it shuns the light Like a moth it finds a fleeting flame And feeds on forms without a name Though guilt may not be yours to bear Fate will strike; it does not care Today I wander through doubt's great sea Come walk this shadowed path with me My breath expands; my eyes turn grey The waves are near—I shy away Each night my gills in silence rise Drawing breath from starlit skies In stillness deep my soul takes flight It claws through dark it shuns the light Like a moth it finds a fleeting flame And feeds on forms without a name Though guilt may not be yours to bear Fate will strike; it does not care Today I wander through doubt's great sea Come walk this shadowed path with me My breath expands; my eyes turn grey The waves are near—I shy away Each night my gills in silence rise Drawing breath from starlit skies
