Oh my dainty pearl up high!
Must you truly wane away?
Won’t you hear my longing cry,
Every night till judgement day.

“Oh my dear, I hear your prayer —
But, you see me through a haze;
You think me pure, you think me fair;
Yet, misguided is your gaze”

“Turn your eyes to the mighty sun —
Of him, I’m but a modest mime.
You and I, we’re held by one;
To praise me in his stead is crime”

“And forget not the shimmering stars —
Streaked across the endless night
They twinkle at my gaping scars —
Let them adorn your barren sight”

Oh hear me now, you pain me so!
I give no heed to who’s above,
My heart yearns only for your glow —
And none shall ever quell my love.

O’er the wind and o’er the waves,

I hear thee whisper a solemn lie —

“Tarry not! ‘Tis cruel the climb;

Lest you rot, in the tides of time”

I heed the words and count the days —

My deeds and dreams, I shan’t let die.

So blind was I, behind the mask;

Is the journey mine? I failed to ask.

A thousand selves, now all but graves;

Did crest the peak and touch the sky.

I twirl and dance — a void within;

So proud I prance — a terrible win.

Now here I lie, cleft from the chase;

O dove up high! How dost thou fly?

Where do I move? Where do I turn?

There’s naught to prove, and naught to earn
