The Minds Elusive Light

To die, to hope, to love, to give To fight, to hurt, to want, to live Life as a star, scorching heat, burning bright Under the sun, scorching heat, reflecting light Angels and demons all burn by flame Illuminated, they are the same Under the sun, within the mind We are one, light leaves us blind Compare and contrast, how long will we last? Slow to fast, quickly, before we're passed By our morals, convictions, the sun above By our zeal, ambition, the moonlight love Swallowed instead by our stubborn lethargy Consumed, mislead, by our comatose apathy Do not rely on the sun to always give Do not lean on light, life eternally to live Time is long, life is short, passion even less Reason can be sound, memory can be stout, the mind can regress Choices can be wrong, life is short, plans turn to mess Answers can be found, decision and doubt, chance prone to guess Spend wisely your brief life, utilize passion to find purpose Remain fluid and elusive, overcome weakness, pursue your bliss
