Softly step
To the lulling melody
Know what it takes
For the pain to end

Dancer
Come forth
I seek the answer
Glistening there

Horizon lines
Gently disappearing
There is nothing
Left

Weave your story
Now and forever
Inked and branded
As life

Clutching at the world
Seeing nothing
I wonder
What I can do

A pearl
In the midst of memories
Haunting
Together, alone

A tilt left
Stooped too low
Bending there
Touch the light
