Recovery rests in your intensity

The silk of your beams gentle

Unlike the wrath of the one

Who you long to know

Desperate to be held in the cold

Of the void that surrounds you

Follows you in your stride

And keeps you from ever exploring

The depths of your existence

Your eyes always watch over

The dark of a dying planet

The beauty of the life it holds

Hidden in the eternal shade

Of a frozen wasteland

Your drift over the planet

With a purpose to be more

Than a casted shadow

And in all your effort,

The dawn of a hundred years

Arises with the inspiration

For the beams of hope

you shed over the earth

without a glint of life

to reflect your glow.

the only thing that gleams

in your brightest streams

are the tears in your eyes

your wishes to shine

as bright as the star you chase

swallowed in the ink

of a grim reality.

but in that moment

The moment you hold the light

Humanity takes for granted

The heat crawling deep

Into shadowed craters

You learn of your purpose again

The reason you chase so far

For a glimpse of what defines

life.
