Where Shadows Dwell (Destiny Lies)

In this place where shadows dwell,
so frequently as to be common,
We fantasize of counting
the moments between the thunder and
the lightning's bolt toward our feet.
We touch feelings surely not our own.
The quiet pulse of realization
brings tears to our hearts and eyes.
We think of what could be and will be
without questioning motives.
Our mouths as silent as a stars fall,
We reach for the febrile flame.
The depth gives rise
for none not sunken shall have
the will to strive with out stretched fingers
to find the high flying mind
to make our first touch with destiny
