Beneath our layers and interweaving fibers of our inner being
there lies a core of truth unknown to most.
The darkest depths of our core illuminate and come alive when we sleep
Our skin feeding upon our senses, filling us with ideals and values.
Human complexity, must life be as such,
The ever elusive dream lies in front of our very eyes
A mirage conjured up by blindness
We reach for this light, but it hardens and turns cold, dead and solid in our hands
And crumbles shortly thereafter
It's clear that this light in focus is the very light that blinds us
Must we be unfaithful to ourselves
Moving forward, never seeking rest
Trusting the light will guide us,
Revealing a diamond pure and jagged, possessing the power to control
light and reflect it however we choose, to fill our core
Lest we may lose this light and wander still
Our failure lies in rejection of the light within
Our struggle to obtain glory is in vain
For within us lies an Emerald, red as our very blood
Rich as the sun, providing immortality
But it fades in time, collecting dust
Acknowledge this, and you may control the clouds that hang overhead
Restoring it's radiant and flawless beauty
Denial is Death to the soul
