The light is lost
And with it any comfort
That could be found in the abyss
Its final flicker
Turned next seconds to centuries
The finite latent in the dark became a myth
With our sight gone
We would wander forever
The destination of our journey eclipsed
Our minds would rot
In the unending silence
Growing ever distant from the lives we had lived

Growing so unfamiliar
With the feeling and the sound
Of our own mother tongues
And all we shared aloud
Growing uncertain
In what we have denounced
As we rely
On what we are without

We
Would feel
Along each
And every wall
Reach
Until
We had foundThe end of it all

A glimpse
Behind
The mask of space and time
We wished
To find
What neither could confine
A glimpse
To find
A place untouched by light
We wished
We tried
To reach the other side

To touch the stillest, the most tranquil of scenes
That exist beyond our own reality

To know the meaning
Of absolute peace
Unhindered by the price that comes with being

The years drag on
Within each of our minds
These moments passed in most exquisite detail
Always we’re drifting
Unable to engage with
The shapes our thoughts have taken where sight has failed
I fear we’re lost
That we will search forever
For an experience left behind the veil
Our minds are goneUnneeded in the silence
Growing deafening as our lungs grow frail

Growing so unfamiliar
With the feeling and the sound
Of our own mother tongues
And all we shared aloud
Growing uncertain
In what we have denounced
As we rely
On what we are without

We
Would feel
Along each
And every wall
Just
To feed
Our own wish
That we’d evolve

A glimpse
Behind
The mask of space and time
We wished
To find
What neither could confine
A glimpse
To find
A place untouched by light
We wished
We tried
To become the divine

To defile that which remains untouched by thieves
Doomed by their wish to gaze upon the unseen
