Raging fire, screaming as it rained down,
Quenching Earth’s cry for salvation.
She is put to rest, her warnings unheard,
Her pleading silenced forevermore.

The breath stolen from your lips,
Leaving your lungs gasping for her grace,
For the sweet essence that keeps us all alive.
What have we done, how are we the selfish one!
There is nothing more to see, feel or breathe.

The realization of the overwhelming, dark pit of hell surrounding,
Swallowing us whole,
Is so blindingly righteous and just.
Our souls be damned, if ever we get a second chance!
Where to now?
The energies flow, wandering off in the blinding-night.
Forever trapped in this time,
Caught in this failed plane of life.

The sun, forever fading yet suspended on the horizon,
Will surely never chase its lover again.
The moon grows brighter than the sun,
His ever-guiding light and warmth turning cold.
She cries, casting a blanket of glittering pearls into the sky,
While he slowly grows old and dies.

Irony watches and cries,
Hand-in-hand with fate,
Destiny is waiting, looming and stalking them,
Silently brooding in jealous-spite.
It’s strange, as they fade into me, into you,
That we never even knew.

As we fall into this darkened hall,
Closing our eyes, searching blindly for what is not there,
Drowning in what we never knew.
The fiery chasms burn behind our closed lids,
Truths awaiting us across these lava pits,
Our lungs filled with despair.
As you feel for and reach for my hand,
I open my eyes and see the truth in you.
