House of the Unseen

Running from the night,  
I seek the path that leads to the embrace of light.  
Yesterday sometimes leaves its trace,  
Remnants of its turbulent journey in place.  

Looking into the mirror of hope,  
I learn to walk along a tightrope.  
I am a house of the unseen,  
A canvas for an enigma's screen.  

I wake up feeling a weight on me,  
My feet at the edge of the day's sea.  
I hear a voice that says I am His child,  
A voice, gentle and mild.  

I hear songs from the ends of the earth,  
Like a gathering of people in a moment of mirth.  
The day doesn’t end when we leave its embrace,  
But with the cosmos creating a new space.
