The moon is dark tonight
And the heavens blacker yet
As I shine my solitary light
There’s no room for regret
~
I commune with demons
Those who came before me
Ancient ones of eternal seasons
Who roam the Galaxy
~
Overwhelming isolation
Desolation and Despair
The price of illumination
Follow us if you dare!
~
Just another soul in flight
Who made a conscious choice
To seek what’s beyond the night
And offer it a voice
~
I sacrifice my earthly riches
To peer behind the veil
Where there is no forgiveness
For the ignorant, mundane, and frail
~
Feeling insufferably lonely
Until the warm, potent energy
Of those who came before me
Surges and pulsates through me
~
My path is narrow and desolate
Few can endure the ordeal
Many more get stuck at the gate
By their fear and their battles of will
For fear is the Liar
From death there is no escape
So my heart is consumed with fire
In a quest to breach the black drape
~
During rare and delightful times
I cross paths with a brother
Reunion of old souls sublime
Brief communion with one another
~
Till we part to continue our solo voyage
We share secrets, wine and love
To be reunited so joyous
Is a gift beyond below and above
