Looking pass that which was once felt
I can see the stars for what they really are
And for what they were really meant to be
Yet I am still left scorn by the holy fire
That I so naively tried to hold
But this pain is one of joy
For it allows them to remain as a guiding light to a macrocosmic heaven
And with this fortunate twist of fate
I walk blindly bound to these celestial entities
Because therein is where my heart will always lie
Call it the work of God
Or the misguided footsteps of a fool
Either way I lack nothing less than the weight
Of my own unknown destiny
For weary and lo is this
Stead fast peerless stargaze
That is an everlasting universal wonder
Thus without dismay
Has it developed into something that I can cherish
And something I can strive to ensue
For if no one else shines,
And the world is covered in darkness
The light that I adore will echo within
While becoming exposed to the vivified vale that we stand upon
Whispering these words
You will be a beacon of immortality
In the minds of all those searching for the twilight of paradise
And although I do not seek this so-called immortality I do,
However wish for this dawn to emanate itself in the souls of all man
