made of stars
all I am and all we are
and all else unknown

I zoom out
I abstract the self outward
and I am alone

I reach out
fill out into emptiness
infinite abyss

deep within
part of me is wondering
is there more than this?
there is no forever
that was never the deal

that was just what we dreamed
that is just how we feel

maybe it's for the best
maybe time is our friend

when forever and ever
means never again
I kept her in chains
the animal in me
until she learned how to speak

now she speaks for me

I am in chains
and she is free
I don't want to share myself with the world
myself is scary and weird

I don't want to wander too close to the light
I stay in the dark with my fear

I am god
you are god
and there is nothing more

it is all in our mind
there is nothing beyond

it is only a dream
it is mine
it is yours

and our souls
are like shadows
that dance on the wall

we are light
we are emptiness
we are the door

we are all
we are everything

nothing at all

we have not yet been born
we are already gone

this is all just a story
it already was

I move through this avatar
you move through yours

through the smoke and the mirrors
that almost seem real

through reflections
of how this illusion feels

the illusion of distance
that makes us feel lost

missing the oneness
that we forgot

we cling to this world
and forget to be god

sometimes we remember
and that is called 'love'

I am god
you are god
that is all that we are
Ciel Noir Dec 2024
see the Moon shine in the north
eerie place
another world
planets circle the horizon
jewels in the crown of the Earth

no day
only night
but now

I see the Sun set in reverse
strange dawn
lights the mountains and glaciers
rose
it glows like hope
rebirth

Hey Blue
Looks like the tides have turned
Can you
Admit that times have changed?
I do
Believe in most of what you stand for
But
I have to say

I get
Why people felt betrayed
When your great dream
Was not delivered
And you stood by
As the piper
Led the children
To the river

Wake up Blue
No one will give you power
If you do not earn that
You've forgotten how to be persuasive
You need to relearn that

Return to when tolerance meant
More than ideology
Centrists were not the enemy
And neither was biology

And we didn't need all these labels
To decide who was more equal
We were people
And the people
On the other side were people

There is no reason to
Demonize people who realize
In evil times
It's not enough to be
The lesser of two evils

It's time to stop underestimating
What our fear is worth
Stop overestimating
How much people care about the Earth

Hey Blue
I am still one of you
But am I pure enough to be called Blue?
I guess that's up to you
One thing
That you still get to choose
