Moonflower

Where do the nocturnal wild flowers grow?
In the darkest depths of my secret soul?
I’ve heard tales of blooms and how they glow.
As embers burn along a seam of coal.

In the darkest depths of my secret soul,
I’ll find myself if I dare to explore.
As embers burn along a seam of coal.
Self sustained and thriving forevermore.

I’ll find myself if I dare to explore.
This Moonflower was once a shooting star.
Self sustained and thriving forevermore.
The clearest sign of growth is in the scar.

This Moonflower was once a shooting star.
Two interstellar forms of one old soul.
The clearest sign of growth is in the scar.
Although, worlds apart they are somehow whole.

Two interstellar forms of one old soul.
I’ve heard tales of blooms and how they glow.
Although, worlds apart they are somehow whole.
Where do the nocturnal wild flowers grow?
