As a star in the dark



Enter the darkness
As a light lit
In its midst of a void
As space that concaves
And falls Upon them
And rise to the highest
Light in its realm
As we scream a dream
Out of the mouths
Of spirit and light
And life and knowledge
As we return
As the ones who leave
And then receive
The light in the darkness
As a star in the dark
And a light that will fall
Upon them all
Illuminating the minds
And the hearts
In the midst of the dark
As colors are cast
In a time
And space at last
