A life spent chasing a dream

I’m not sure I want

Anymore.

A vision blinking through

An abandoned

Consuming night

That I don’t want back.

A frozen scream

From the depths

Of a soul

Tortured by a grief

Of the story it was born into -

Imparted at the very beginning of its time.

And battered by the world,

This spark begins questioning

The foundation

Of life, love -

The fulfillment of a life

Lived half-heartedly,

Lived within prescribed borders.

The rigid confines

Of an existence unfilled

In the light,

Tighten

Even when the soul

Screams for a life

Lived in the

Eternal mystery

Of the night.

The beauty in its chaos -

In passionate

Heart breaking

Breathless love.

And an adventure

Witnessed by the night,

Blessed in the embers

Of a million stars

Paying homage to the

Chilling thrill of

Lives lived

Under the illuminated eye

Of the same universe.

A life

Bound

In the chains

Of an overwhelming and abiding grief

Shared by millions

Staring into the face

Of the same hypnotic darkness.

A stark black sky

Breathing life

Into the weary wanderers

Of this world

Who are

Just praying for a direction

In the vast wasteland

Of a life

Wracked by an unknown pain

With no answers

Found in the day.

So we look to the night

Where time suspends

And the world cradles

Those lost at heart

And broken in soul.

There, there we may find

What we so desperately

Stumble after.
