Reflection
"We are, you and I.
Yet are too young still to trouble our hearts with love and death;
too young to trouble our minds with questions that have plagued humanity from its very beginning;
too young to pluck the heartstrings of that vast sea of emotion;
too old to live life for itself."
Let us see together
That great sunset of mankind
The beauty of the fading light
The beauty in the mind
Let us keep the sun still close
Nature in its kind
That we may better know night when
No stars are illumined
And see before us, fading still
Horizons circled 'round, oh
Will you only see the night for what it is
Or forever see the pain inside a kiss?
