All this time and effort
trying to shake the feeling
what is, was, shall never be
a discordant symphony
ringing in my ears
visions of you
between the twilight
still waiting, wondering
something sudden
something secret
a hidden world
straining so hard
to fill the void
what lies behind
what waits ahead
emotions run deep
the harsh truth
burning away the nostalgia
shining light
down upon the obscure
I cannot break free
no path is clear
no road ahead
the ruins of days
from the rubble may I rise
the flames give of life
a new beginning
the shadows cast aside
a seed of hope
deep within the darkness
may it grow
to spread anew
the breath of hope
so that I might find tomorrow
a blessing, not a curse
