Microcosm
Here, in this, the darkest grass
My tears have all but passed away
The day within this night won't last
For more than minutes anyway
The moon is set, a crystal stone
Against the sky like velvet dawn
Crimson, blackened pearls shine bright
Behind an ever-fading light
The night surrounds me
Here, I see
The purity within what fades
From all these empty days
And so burns down all that surrounds me
As I seek eternal flame
True darkness comes to all I see
To everything I name
Is this not how it's meant to be?
Finding shadows of ourselves in every hope we haven't see
Can there be more to this reality
Than what lies deep inside of you and me
The darkness of the seas we hoped to make of memories
That prove to be now nothing more than what we always wished we were
Oh can't you see
How we
are blind
