An eternity of darkness masked by a moment of light
A brief moment when the world would forget the dark
And embrace the light
When they can see what’s in front of them
When they can see the truth
And the very world they loved betrays
And truly embraces them in the same instant
When the illuminated darkness shows the horrors
And loving, and beauty of its face
When every other moment of humanity's life seems pointless
Seems lost compared to this one moment of truth
When humankind sees its errors, its falsehoods
When all is bright and you feel the light on your skin
And the warmth soothes you
When the dark cold bowels of the earth feel warmth and light once again
When nature, the plants, the animals, every living being is illuminated
And shown the truth
When the world feels the sun again
When the illuminated darkness ends
The world forgets
