Benighted I stand In halls of star-dusted pillars My every step echoing for each speck of light Tendrils of light embrace me and disperse Cradling me through a chamber of stars The cavern shifts its form, again and again... Tiles illuminate erratically creating a path Of which I can follow From a void bearing structure The universe hangs in the void So distant it appears like nothing more Than a stone of light An icon of reality Nothing more than a platform for us to dream I turn away from its euphoric hold on me To uncover the real meaning of reality I forget my mortal barriers And step forth into the sphere To be born upon the void for all to see This is but a dream, but to any moreal The universe is always such For those enlightened, you shall walk these halls For those who tore down the walls of this illusion called life The stars shall be their icon
