As the imps do play in the dazzling lights, the swans preen and pine In the shadow of amnesia. A new reality awakens within, And upon its dawn there is naught but a woven world mirrored in night. Shedding pretensions, their wings are gone with the sun. Newly-made eyes open to darkness, and revel in freedom from light, Only to realize once again that night is but a dull reflection of day. And cry she does, to the heavens above, that she has so recently left; She begs for the gods to let her peer out the window at truth.

As the imps do play in the dazzling lights, the swans preen and pine In the shadow of amnesia. A new reality awakens within, And upon its dawn there is naught but a woven world mirrored in night. Shedding pretensions, their wings are gone with the sun. Newly-made eyes open to darkness, and revel in freedom from light, Only to realize once again that night is but a dull reflection of day. And cry she does, to the heavens above, that she has so recently left; She begs for the gods to let her peer out the window at truth.
