Is there a darkness gathering
In the hurting heart of humans?
So much despair about a world
That seems to be changing
And not for the best
Haven’t we lost our way
And don’t we often dream of better days
Long ago
Painful as such memories are
Torn at the edges
Frayed with distance and time
There is some comfort in nostalgia
Are those days over
But really
Have we truly lost connection with any soul
That touched our own
For good or ill?
In the past darkness
Ghosts gather
But scarier is the sense
That in the world
Feeling has become numb
Or gone ghostly
Driving us so far down
Inside
To a lost place where
We swim in black oceans
Oh dark black ocean pearl
In which is reflected
Our entire cosmic ancestral history
And portents of doom
You have deep tales to tell
And lessons to reveal
Hard as it is
We must turn to face you
For it is much too late
To turn back now
