Worlds Apart

Without light

The dark encloses all

Our works would be but ash

No knowledge of the time that crushes love to dust

Or the life that's frozen deep within our veins

Without dark

The light burns out our eyes

And turns each of us to ash

Our hearts, too hard to ever learn to feel

And mouths, laid open, deep in silent song

Trapped within

That which all collapses

For fear of what may lay beyond

When peace eludes

And devastation happens

A subtle glimpse of where we each belong

Darkened heart

Enlightened mind

Whole world apart

Remain entwined

I'm reaching out

Across frayed tapestry of lives

Eroding worlds

Cut through unravelled cords of time

Within this rift

Where lays our heart of hearts defined

My darkness and your light, still yet remain entwined
