Stories of the Night

A shift upon receiving The wisdom of my soul That perceives a tale reforming As we fall into this black hole But awareness now is sinking Along with this dead earth To where darkest stories glisten And rage against my worth The silence now betrays me Introspection turns to dust The life about me failing As I wake into mistrust The visions now surrounding The remainder of my sight Though darkness crawls before me It is I who kneel from fright Draining all my wisdom There’s nothing I can say The dark is all consuming There is eternity to pay Yet this is just a story As I glance into the night This shift will pass before us And leave me lonely in the light
