Foxlight

Bewildered here,
Down at the crossroads.
Confronted with the choices,
For my epitaph.

A distant flame gives me a sign
Shows me a path within my mind

Too tempting are the ways
That promise release
Through blissful subjection
And foxlights leading the way

A vortex of realities
Has dragged me under
All the things I believed, what my
Yesterdays conceived is lost

Trapped inside a mirage of my own design

All things stand still, but for the drive inside
The rabbit can escape and reach a burrow of light
Everything I’ve known is unveiled and defied
I let the daemons go, with the ebbing ride

Here I lie, surrounded by the imagery of man
Here I lie, wondering as clarity comes ‘round
Here I lie, my soul’s revived the strength to understand

Even if the pieces change and only the
Journey still remains
Forever must I
Clear the path on which I walk
When the foxlight shines
And tries to lure me into the wild
My compass I must find
Within the palace of my mind

Tell me what is really light,
What is the essence of dark
Forever must I trust the journey of man
The rabbit can escape,
And reach a burrow of light
Even if the pieces change
And only the journey still remains

When the foxlight shines
Take no heed to its design
Even if the pieces change
And only the journey still remains
