Sitting alone in a familiar dark corner, awaiting the brief visit of a single ray of light. The light is not mine to hold. It is mearly a warm painful glimpse of a world beyond the shadow. A view others, whose hearts dance and speak of light, of love, and of beautiful things, while my heart beats softly, quietely, alone. Within that heartbeat, behind shadow's veil, lies a truth, one verity I am not sure I should see. If I let truth escape my lips, could I survive this final veil lifting? All that I am coming to view. All undone, nothing left, nothing new, no more mysteries for you. If my heart, unshackled, allows lips to caress the air. If my final revelation were to brush your cheek, could you see the truth? Such as I am, I am here for you. Awaiting the moment, that your ray of light visits my dark corner. The moment I can hold you, and leave shadow behind. |
