Only a slight
Only a hint, in the cover of night
Wrapped in the shadows
Naked and blind
Reaching for heights through the shields of my mind
Screaming for wisdom
Aching for air
Breathing alone - the breath of despair
There is only one truth in the night's glare. It is left for us to uncover, buried beneath the earth in a dark, lonely lair. The path leading to its treasure is smooth and easy, narrow and warm. It welcomes you with open arms, and nuzzles you with an icy stare. Many times I've traveled that path. Worn and weary, I searched in the darkness for clues, for answers. I've stumbled over its roots. I've bathed in its cool, welcoming waters.
But I had never before stared into its eyes.
I had never danced in the core of its soul as I have tonight.
I have seen the truth. I have tasted the purity of its heart.
And I shall never forget.
