In the Shadows of the Cosmos

From the molten rocks came coal,
And from the gods came man, unique,
A paradox~ the human soul,
A marvelous madhouse! A maze of mystique!

We are living in a world unknown,
A world of pain and of delight,
A world of water, air, and stone,
A world illumed by heaven's light!

This world is our home, our womb, our casket,
Where we remain forever bound,
And with my blanket and my basket,
I shall stray from sound to sound!

We are at the crux of nothing!
We are in a black abyss!
We are gushing, loving, crushing!
We are something unlike this!

I shall spend my short life living,
For that is all that one can do,
And though the pain is unforgiving,
I'll bear it just to be with you.
