synchrony
subtle as a symphony
sway me like the sea

light a fire
and you will see
you are not alone
in this darkness

I hope for
thousands of living planets
life is beautiful

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

wind rising
on the white and waiting sky
I can taste the storm

When there are no more people in this world
When all of us have vanished into space
What rises from the darkness of the sea
And crawls onto the land to take our place?

Will they learn peace and live in harmony
Respecting all the other animals
Or will they follow after you and me
And leave their own deep footprints on the world?
