I fear the waning of the moon; Reflecting fleeting strength of mind as I walk through the night. Rain falls: Each drop another fright as I brave the dark and seek that light. If I falter... Sheer winds tear down walls of self, constructed over a lifetime. Those bricks, a reminder of failure: Each another drop, mixing regret with pain until two are one and both are none. Though long years of toil mark the path behind, If it is respite I seek, The only flame lit be my own will. The gnawing fatigue bears down upon my soul... Will I be able to start again? Or will this flame fade; Every source of fuel gone cold?

New, Perigean Spring
I fear the waning of the moon; Reflecting fleeting strength of mind as I walk through the night. Rain falls: Each drop another fright as I brave the dark and seek that light. If I falter... Sheer winds tear down walls of self, constructed over a lifetime. Those bricks, a reminder of failure: Each another drop, mixing regret with pain until two are one and both are none. Though long years of toil mark the path behind, If it is respite I seek, The only flame lit be my own will. The gnawing fatigue bears down upon my soul... Will I be able to start again? Or will this flame fade; Every source of fuel gone cold?
