Notes About The Poem

This is actually White Wolf's poem, my only contribution is the last stanza :)

As Evening Approached - Collaboration With White Wolf

As evening approached, 
its heights dressed in a garment of black. 
Ishtar, shining playfully next to the rising moon, 
penetrated my mind with thoughts.

Squandering away our gift of life
Caught up in the madness and mundane
Our soul’s strength remains unabated
The veil lifting between pleasure and pain

Though in our earthly state we are confused
Avoiding thorns on the paths we choose
By keeping our eyes on the ground below
We pay the price for the views we lose

Raise your eternal eyes to the skies above
Make darkness your home, your fearless home
Ethereal, elusive you shall be
while through stars and moon your soul will roam

That's a wonderful vision - my soul wants to roam through the skies, but I feel my gaze earth bound from daily life. Thanks, both of you.
