When time forgot the hours
and the stars reached down
to touch the heart of Love,
she became the Light Keeper.
She held the Moon in her fingers
and felt the pulse of its beams.
Dangled the stars above the Earth
and told time to stand still
while she called to the One
Who knew her very soul.

The Light Keeper ran her hands
through the radiant sparkles
and turned her ear to the Heavens.
Listened to the sound of its voice,
the melody of its planets. She
tossed each star back into its place,
and let each ray of the Moon flutter
through an endless night to cross over
the sleeping form of a Love kept
in the clasp of her time-tuned dreams.

Did you ever look
Into an addict's eyes
And see the reflection
Of your own ghost

All your judgment
All your abuse
Dangling there
A noose
Around your own throat

Deeper than human despair
The soul gone missing
Into thin air
Did your spirit ever grow tired
  Of existing here...

Did you ever wonder
If there was anything left
Did you ever catch
Your last breath?
