I whisper in the darkness
Shy my words are finding flight
I heed the void
Let it draw me in
I need the night

Searching, groping
Without a light
The floor is cold
The walls are ice
I’ve slipped before I had a chance to rise

I’m looking hard
But try as I might
It’s hard to find something
To **** the fire that resides inside

So close my eyes
And slip inside
Take out your knives
Carve from my hide
Circles drawing from the tide

Of time as shorelines
Waves and grains, an interplay
Of moonlight and star skies
And the pitch black darkness
From a complete absence of life

Across the ocean
A destination silhouettes the end of sight
I’ve known it all my life
It’s been following me all this time

One day I will cross these waters
Leave my boat along it’s coast
Walk barefoot across the beach
And under white light give up this ghost
