Lux Lucet

Eyes ahead, maintaining stride
Can't let the tides turn aside
And pray this too shall pass.

Were they lies those lights before my eyes that
Lured me to this wasteland?

Is that a flame shining in the void?

Can't recall at all yearnings felt when fancy filled the night
The songs were false, no spirits called, just embers fading
Dying in the wind.

Skirting close upon the edge
Grasping at shreds of memories.

And only now my journey begins
I taste the waters in the desert
As I drink, stones begin to sing.

I am what I can be what can be I'm becoming
I can be what I think I am what I am being.

And as the waters gush, the mountains speak their misery
Redemption flows upon the sand!

Soon again I'm running
Near my line of darkness
I see myself beneath all my terrors.

Push ahead chasing the fear
And never a tear shed for old endings
Beginning again.
