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
