Enlightenment

After a night so long
the time has come
eclipse of my past returns

A rout in the wood
releases my fright
haunted like a bird

But your dimples
remind me
of the small flashes of light
do treasure all seasons
and destiny's chosen line

Consternation!
is this the last goodbye?
time won't stand still
you have to learn to tame it yourself

Consolation!
the mercy of yours lasts
the hope of eternity
enlightens my path

The way I choose
will I fail and lose?
one single moment and I'll pay

Behind the mask
there's shame like ashes
I'm still playing by rule
