Calm, quiet, displaced
Gentle embers fade
Away into the stillness
Uncertain and unwilling
Within slow, slowing, chilling
as light is abating
unfolding space
Closing, singed and dazed
Each flame gone, replaced
By comfort; by harsh neglect
No life left just circumspect
Discarded, dead reflections
majestic, separate
imperfections
An incantation
As we disappear
Bring back the life to us here
Lift up our souls so we see
Another dawn, please set us free
twilight shadows echo
captivity
All is lost, lost and forlorn
Knowing this, we still move on
A band of nomads
Misfits, miscreants
Wandering amidst the mist
locked into this time, stopped
we must exist
Gentle embers fade
Away into the stillness
Uncertain and unwilling
Within slow, slowing, chilling
as light is abating
unfolding space
Closing, singed and dazed
Each flame gone, replaced
By comfort; by harsh neglect
No life left just circumspect
Discarded, dead reflections
majestic, separate
imperfections
An incantation
As we disappear
Bring back the life to us here
Lift up our souls so we see
Another dawn, please set us free
twilight shadows echo
captivity
All is lost, lost and forlorn
Knowing this, we still move on
A band of nomads
Misfits, miscreants
Wandering amidst the mist
locked into this time, stopped
we must exist
