Grasping at the world's shadow as she dances away at a pace my beating heart craves, hoping we'll embrace. But behind these eyes the night sky shines moonlight lies, and the truth of existence pierces the forgotten shrine. Darkening the moment, as despair tears I lose grip and become lost in the memories of the minds' maze, tailing yesterday's missed opportunities, and tripping over what the heart desires in the unknown reaches of today. I stumble and fall into the unimaginable tomorrow, to awaken within a fog of discontent. Accepting it all, I crawl out with what once was a dark stone in my chest now a source so bright, I will never need another's light.
