there is nothing I have done
that nobody else has done
we all look at the same Moon
we all look at the same Sun

there is nothing in this place
that really is all my own
spiraling through time and space
nobody is all alone

what happens to the parts of you
that you hide from the light
and what do all your demons do
in that concealing night

kept locked up in a secret place
with scarcely space to play
did you think they would disappear
if you just looked away

do they destroy each other
until only one survives
or join and grow into one being
very much alive

amalgamated madness
with no reason left to run
in your own innermost darkness
where the shadows fall as one

A black and shining sea of endless suns
A sky swimming with warm and spinning stones
I know that I am not the only one
Who wonders if we really are alone

The starlight rides the waves and meets our eyes
A vision of infinity in black
How many gaze with me at the same sky
And wonder whether other eyes gaze back

.
Peek-a-boo with clouds,
the moon dances in the sky,
the crescent at play.
