Second Coming

The fire burns hotter, higher, for the fuel is firm
Through the Earth and beyond, the sky is ablaze
The raging flame climbs, giving accent to the dark
A beacon that beckons those who see and seek it

Drawn in,
I am but an exploding ember
Leaping from coal to coal, spilling forth
Into the uncharted, and incomprehensible night
The same night that ravishes this sincere soul

My lament pours out, like rain from the clouds
Oh night, why must you be so fierce and piercing!?!?
Your surrounding darkness seems unconquerable
Your battalion of shadows, inescapable
Your mild might stretches far out into space
Farther than my comprehension can ever reach..

I can no longer bear your limitless burdens,
I cannot defeat you
Nor move your face towards the sole star I circle
I can only repel you, and this is why i burn
I burn in display of a cause I fear is lost
I burn like the gaseous giants of the Milky Way
In some far off hope that you may fall and shatter
To be erased from the memories of time and space
That an everlasting light will shine,
Taking your place

Oh night..

Although my blaze is incomparable to your vigor
I sit and burn, awaiting the return of the second sun
The sun of righteous glory, whose dawn rises within
I wait and am whisked away by the dream of this sun that will rise once more,
forever more,
and yet again.
