Lost (I - Ii)
Part I – The Journey of Reminiscence
How often have I traversed
The lonely depths of my soul? It seems
Near an eternity since I’ve
Felt something…real
Perhaps everything is truly gone,
Perhaps I am the one that ceased to exist…
I do not know… Can anyone ever truly know?
I remember … Light
I remember … Joy
I remember … Anger
I remember … Might
I remember … Innocence
I remember … Love
I remember … Angels
But wait… I see something…
Is it really there?
Could it possibly be …?
Light …
O Cruel Fate! Why must this be?
Such pain in losing one’s existence does
One face, but why must I face it
Ever so endlessly?
My mind retreats to old times – my past
Such infantile ignorance I lived in…
Is this any better though?
Perhaps…
This vast nothingness that
Overwhelms me sheds but a single ray of light…
Light burns…
Purge me…
Purge me…
Purge me…
Part II – Torments of the Soul
Lament not for my darkest rest for it
Is not as it may seem…
Forever in this darkness I dream…
I dream of all that is good
I dream of all that is wicked
I dream of all that was
And all that ever will be…
I remember the Moon
I remember the Abyss
I remember the Night
I remember the Dreams
I remember the Years
A blind man in a dark room
An insight of forlorn grief
Will I ever truly see light?
What is light? What is dark?
Can I remember? Have I forgotten?
What is this in my palm? Such warmth…
It tingles with such spirited joy…
It is not fading…
It is getting stronger…
Or am I fading?
Perhaps…
Perhaps…
Perhaps…
