Enlightenment

After a night so long
 the time has come
 eclipse of my past returns

 A rout in the wood
 releases my fright
 haunted like a bird

 But your dimples
 remind me
 of the small flashes of light
 do treasure all seasons
 and destiny's chosen line

 Consternation!
 is this the last goodbye?
 time won't stand still
 you have to learn to tame it yourself

 Consolation!
 the mercy of yours lasts
 the hope of eternity
 enlightens my path

 The way I choose
 will I fail and lose?
 one single moment and I'll pay

 Behind the mask
 there's shame like ashes
 I'm still playing by rule
