~Enigma~ Autumn like dreams Fall into sleep Dusk twilight wanes Equinox ending. Enigma lies In celestial skies Down from the ground And so far descending. See words of mine All for you, strung like twine, And see how they embrace me, As without them I'd be broken. Samhain like haze Darkness pervades. Where dream remains, All became nightmare. Enigma lies Through pareidolia's false guise Truth is unbound From what no one could bear. Do these woven threads form art profound? Do unyielding knots yet tie me down? What good am I With my true self unspoken? Yuletide like void Harsh winter noise. No light contains This empty feeling. Enigma dies; The illusion withers and cries. My being drowned In shadow, revealing. Emerge from purged cloak smoking; None has died, just awoken. Not afraid of the darkness, But light's restoration beyond it! Here, the dawn awaits me, every time I find light's fallen, Here, the dark is fading, promising its own recalling, Here, I see what no one word could hold full for me, for I Hear them all together as a beautiful enigma, here to... Rise; fall. Rise; fall. Rise; fall. Rise; fall. ~
