I have lost my patience to guard
this crystal lake of Heavens.
Fallen as a victim to be alone
by the mercy of only myself.
My heart has never been held
by shadows for this long,
and it feels I am simply waiting
for the chains to be broken.
If I could throw myself forward
to the cold water of Earth;
could I see my crying reflection
in the hourglass still counting?
Can I stop the time this long day,
to prevent a dreadful evening
from falling dark in my heart?
Maybe that would finally explain
my black wings of loss.
May I still turn my gaze to the sky?
If these bonds were finally broken,
could this angel find a home
from your timeless arms of love
in the depth of this old lake?
