Translucent wisp
So delicate
You brave the wind
And dare to coalesce before me
Floating there
You mote of dust
Small and naive, and still believes
Impossible dreams
Invisible
You're barely there
Yet you insist on your creation
You don't understand
There was a time
Long ago in the light
There, the mountains and oceans I breathed into life
In endless skies, I painted the constellations
Shining down
On the valleys and steps
On the myriad plains of existence, I dreamt
Where every word was spoken in celebration
But now silence
Reigns in every kingdom
The once bright pastures
Now but a dull grey
Hope then is only a thin veneer
Something, something always gets in the way
Crisis, disaster, contradiction
Every single one different
All things die, no exceptions
Always the consequence of existence
An unavoidable spiral back into the abyss
Or it could be me?
An imperfect God
Near hollowed my soul
My heart, my illumination
Growing dim
Or dim from the start
Small and naive
I used to believe like you
But now I know I
Know, I know for sure I
Know I never was bright enough
To spin hope into life
I was a fool to
Think myself an enlightened thing
To think I could turn translucent wisp into worlds
Impossible dreams
One last time
Despite all the reasons why
Despite all my failures
I will shine you a new
(Guiding light)
Hoping just one last time
Despite all the reasons why
Despite all my failures
I will shine you a new
(Guiding light)
One last time
