Visions blur as the colors fade from the walls
Falling, dripping to the floor, draining...
Closing in, the womb of pain protects me
Guards me from the light...

Tears stream down, warmth startling
Tis but a dream...
No more to give, empty
Earth no more.

Death is as faint as a wish
Similar perhaps, but not nearly as final
The clock strikes, dim future awaits
Somewhere, he laughs loudly at his prank.

Questioning life, pondering existence
Purpose hazes from my grasp
As memories had faded, they reappear slowly
A vision of beauty revitalizes my pain.

Such a distance, the glimmer on the horizon
So far it seems, my hopes worn thin
The most rewarding prize, the farthest away
Effort worth dying for...
