Nebula Helix

This night the moon’s darkened
The horizon’s lost in tint
Star-stained sky and light-tainted cities
And nothing in between

The lookout-tower’s empty
The forest’s silent, still
Time for a last dance
Time for the last words
Time to test the will

This night the moon’s darkened
The horizons lost in tint
Star-stained sky and light-tainted cities
And no one in between

My mouth of prayers is empty
I am silent, still
The crushing weight of stillness
Descends over me
And I surrender mysel to thee

Take a last breath
Embrace the sky
Fly high with the wind
Be what you are
Stardust

The crushing weight of stillness
Descends over me
And I surrender myself to thee
And I’ll be born again
