The Light Within

I lay still Flesh on ice Bones are chilled It's my price For trying to Be born again I stole stars Made the moon mine Put their light in jars I was divine I drank the light That I'd sealed within And so I began My second life With an eternal glow As my heart beats The lights pulse  In Morse code            But the sun mourned All her daughter stars And her son the moon See their souls Were within the light That I'd consumed "You must pay" Said the goddess sun To my illuminated self          "I'm taking your soul"  My warm tears were  The last thing I felt So now I lay In the cold snow With an unfixed gaze I am a wraith Who sees only dark Even in the day
