Fallen Night
It was not yet night, it was dark
I was not thinking, I have a thought
I can hear the beating of my heart
The end can finally begin, I cannot
I can read the words in my mind
But to the silence about I cannot say
This dark, a given darkness to shine
Did my eyes flicker? Yet they turn, they sway
I started to feel for things... I touch
There wasn’t yet to be, I... cannot yet see
It was frighteningly beautiful as such
Yet to see not... I am blind, I can only be
An illusion, an imagination, a delusion
I can neither feel or see, either touch nor hear
A distinction, a resolution, an obligation
I can neither heal nor be... either parch or fear
It has fallen into night, it was dark
I can yet see what I see not, I cannot
I can hear only the thumping of my heart
I begin to think... the end was my thought
