All around, as far as the eye can see,
Nothing around but darkness,
Not a flame in sight,
Not a single light,
No creatures bright.

Fear has gone missing,
A glimmer of it only now and again,
And it hides again.
Every action certain,
Every step sure.

Walking, running, crawling,
always moving.

A moment, a day, a year, an eon,
It all moved the same.

A glimmer in the far
Growing faintly as I draw near.

Walking, running crawling,
Always moving.

Light abound, as far as the eye can see,
Nothing but light
Shadows around,
That and the memories,
Everything else is light.

Standing a crossroad,
Fear has been found,
And it fills the light.
All the courage I could muster
Crushed under the weight of the fear,
Ash in the light
