Long Since Dark

It's been long since dark

Sitting here bathed in the moonshade

Underneath a willow'tree

To stare above, the sky is burning

The diamonds dance in nocturnal symphony

What does it mean? How do I fit into the scheme?

Why is there dark sky above, what does it veil?

Is there a purpose to the point

Beyond the norm we hail?

Reflecting on my future to come

Underneath the crescent moon

Long since dark, and my thoughts are flowing

And deeper still, beyond the cloak of unknown

Relentless drone, why was I put here, left alone?

Why do I hunger to know what will I gain?

Is there true wisdom without end

Or will I find just pain?

How many times do we take for granted

Simple things that make life sweet

Enraptured by material longings

We miss the point, we need to know, to see

Beyond your being, and in the void lies the meaning

Just as the dark sky above had spoke to me

The answer came so clear, then vanished

For a moment I was free

I am free
