So dark

Once an amusement park

Troubled whispers sound

On a mute merry-go-round

So cold

Once a playground of gold

Caved in long ago

And then poisoned with the snow

Oceans of time

Broken patterns align

Hearts washed upon the isle



It carries your name

Like radiance in the rain

The wailing sirens alarm

Old memories hang on and gravitate by weights of sorrow



Through cracks and wounds our pain reflected in a thousand mirrors

It is time for deeds to take the shape of vows and codes of promise

The time to let our minds speak silently in the act of darkening

Out of reach and gone from view

Now light is one step behind you

On the other side of the soul

The void resolves one final role

Collapse into absence
