Darkness among Lights

The lights
Twinkling and shinning,
Even the stars
Trying to compete.

The howling sirens
Deafening the senses,
Amidst all glory...

Here i am,
Masked in darkness;
In the
Festival of Lights.

The phlegmatic moon,
Damsel of the night;
Hiding herself
From the torchbearers of time!

Away from the machinations,
The mind wanders aimlessly
Through the dark paths
Unseen!

Trying to find the way
Without help from the shamans,
Faltering through
The woods of silent lives.

Following the reflection
In those dark waters,
Lively images of the past;
Whispering notes in the ears--
Deafened by the silence of the night.

The chill of the wind,
Sharing its warm friendship
With the unseen darkness,
The cynicism left far behind.
