Spark In the Ebony

My place in this waning
The purpose unclear
These sights see me backwards
I feel guardianship near

On the edge of a horror
I also feel light
A spark in the ebony
Some truth in the night

I trust who I trust
I cannot say more
I feel something greater
How to open the door?

Beneath the surface it lingers
Begging to be found
My footholds unsteady
I can't walk on this ground.
